An Act relative to creating intensive stabilization and treatment units within the Department of Mental Health

This bill creates two specialized mental health units within the Department of Mental Health: one for men and one for women. It targets patients with persistent aggression, self-destructive behavior, or severe violence requiring specialized care. The units must provide comprehensive services including behavioral assessments, crisis management, and psychiatric treatment, staffed by trained professionals like psychiatrists and social workers. Patients must be transferred to appropriate care once stabilized, with clear discharge planning.
