An Act establishing a commission to study the availability of a continuum of care for persons

This bill establishes a commission to study how well Massachusetts provides a full range of care options for people with substance use disorders. The commission will examine the availability of various services, including detoxification, residential recovery homes, and outpatient treatment, and determine the right amount of each service needed to ensure efficient access. The group will be made up of state officials, party leaders, and representatives from healthcare and recovery organizations, who must submit an annual report with their findings and suggestions. Additionally, the commission is tasked with tracking how well the state implements any recommendations it makes.
