AI Summary
This bill aims to establish substance abuse accountable care organizations (SA-ACOs) to improve access to mental health and substance abuse services across Massachusetts. The bill defines key terms like "substance use disorder accountable care organization," "recovery center," and "recovery program." It tasks the state's Health Policy Commission with facilitating the creation of recovery programs through SA-ACOs, identifying unmet community needs, and developing a comprehensive plan to address them across the continuum of behavioral health services. The bill also requires SA-ACOs to manage high-risk prescribed medications used in alcohol and drug-free housing, with access and administration limited to licensed clinical personnel.
