An Act relative to rehabilitation periods for those in addiction recovery

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to increase the minimum time required for individuals to remain in addiction recovery programs before they can be released from certain legal restrictions. Specifically, it changes the standard from 14 days to 20 days and mandates that these programs include at least 20 sessions of structured outpatient treatment. The changes apply to various sections of the state's statutes governing the rehabilitation of substance abusers. By extending the duration and adding a requirement for more treatment sessions, the legislation aims to ensure longer and more intensive recovery periods for those involved in the system.
