AI Summary
This bill establishes comprehensive regulations for clinical inpatient medical treatment centers for substance use disorder in West Virginia. The bill defines key terms such as "integrated care model" and "certified recovery residence" and mandates that these centers must have at least 85% of their patients be West Virginia residents, which will be evaluated quarterly. Centers must provide an integrated care model that includes various health screenings, vaccinations, and basic medical services, and must transition 100% of their graduates into an appropriate level of care, with at least 70% being placed in a certified recovery residence. Additional requirements include providing 30 days of medication upon discharge, offering dental evaluations, assessing patients for job readiness programs, and assisting with identification documents. The centers must submit quarterly reports to the Office of the Inspector General detailing patient demographics, placement rates, length of stay, and other key metrics. If a center fails to comply with these provisions, they will be given a six-month improvement period, and failure to meet requirements could result in the revocation of their behavioral health license. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and aim to improve substance use disorder treatment and patient outcomes in the state.
