Establishes a co-occurring disorders patient bill of rights

This bill establishes a patient bill of rights for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, requiring specific state agencies to adopt these protections. The law mandates that affected individuals receive non-discriminatory care, accurate diagnosis and screening, and integrated treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. It further guarantees access to high-quality evidence-based services, continuity of care, family support, peer advocacy, safe housing, and prevention programs for at-risk youth. By requiring these standards across various settings, the legislation aims to ensure that people with dual diagnoses are treated with dignity and receive the comprehensive support necessary for recovery.
