Bill > HB2231

This bill establishes comprehensive requirements for dual diagnosis treatment centers in Missouri, which are facilities that provide treatment for both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. The legislation defines key terms such as dual diagnosis treatment, medication management, and substance use disorder, and mandates that these centers actively manage patients' medications through systematic tracking, regular reviews, patient education, and collaboration with healthcare providers. The bill requires treatment centers to develop integrated, evidence-based, and individualized treatment plans that address both substance use and mental health disorders in a patient-centered manner. Centers must provide treatment that focuses on patient autonomy and shared decision-making, and they are prohibited from advertising dual diagnosis treatment services unless they fully comply with the new standards. The bill also stipulates that facilities must accurately represent their services in marketing materials, disclose their licensure status, and be transparent about their accreditations. The Missouri Department of Mental Health will be responsible for enforcing these requirements, with potential penalties for non-compliance similar to those outlined in existing healthcare facility licensing regulations.
