Bill Summary

Relative to a statewide study of treatment options to the ongoing opioid crisis. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a statewide study of substance abuse treatment options and services to address the ongoing opioid crisis in the state. The study will examine the regional distribution and capacity of substance abuse treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and alcohol and drug-free housing across Massachusetts. The findings will be used to develop a preliminary analysis of the treatment expansions or reductions, and their associated costs, required to match the demand for substance abuse and medication-assisted treatment services with the distribution of service capacity. The bill also requests the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to participate in and support the study. The final report, known as the "Massachusetts Substance Abuse Treatment Expansion Strategy," will be submitted to the state legislature by December 1, 2017.
