2015-S7748 - Summary

Relates to the heroin and opioid addiction wraparound demonstration services program; makes provisions permanent.

2015-S7748 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7748

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation
to the heroin and opioid addiction wraparound demonstration services
program; and to amend chapter 32 of the laws of 2014, amending the
mental hygiene law relating to the heroin and opioid addiction
wraparound demonstration services program, in relation to the
effectiveness thereof

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of the bill is to make the heroin and opioid addiction
wraparound services demonstration program permanent.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section one of the bill amends section 19.18-a of the Mental Hygiene
Law to make necessary technical changes to the heroin and opioid
addiction wraparound services demonstration program to make it
permanent.

Section two of the bill amends Section 2 of chapter 32 of the laws of
2014 by removing the expiration date of the heroin and opioid addition
wraparound services demonstration program.

Section three of the bill is the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Wraparound services offer a complete, comprehensive, and
person-centered method of providing services in order to best help the
individual who is receiving such services. When coordinated during
inpatient or outpatient treatment, wraparound services establish a
strong continuum of care for a patient, promoting a greater likelihood
of success after treatment. In light of the devastation wrought by the
heroin and opioid epidemic, it is vital that every resource be made
available to those who continue to battle heroin or opioid addiction,
especially when such services could mean the difference between a
healthy and productive life in long-term recovery, or a life stuck in
the vicious cycle of addiction. A 2012 revised National Institute on
Drug Abuse (NIDA) publication "Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment:
A Research-Based Guide (Third Edition)" stated that addiction
treatment must go beyond treating only the addiction and must help the
person become a healthy and productive member of society. The NIDA
publication further states that treatment must address not only the
physical and psychological needs, but must also address social,
vocational and legal problems that arose from addiction. NIDA states
that such treatment services can be needed at varying degrees
throughout a person's life in order to maintain recovery. This
legislation would make the heroin and opioid addiction wraparound
services demonstration program that was established in 2014 permanent
in order to continue providing additional case management services
such as continued education, legal services, financial services,
social services, family services, child care services, peer to peer
support, employment support, and transportation assistance that
greatly reduce the likelihood of relapse.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

This is a new bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

Undetermined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.

deemed repealed three years after such effective date].

An act to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to the heroin and
opioid addiction wraparound demonstration services program; and to
amend chapter 32 of the laws of 2014, amending the mental hygiene law
relating to the heroin and opioid addiction wraparound demonstration
services program, in relation to the effectiveness thereof

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of the bill is to extend the heroin and opioid addiction
wraparound services demonstration program until June 30, 2018 and
require the Commissioner to use data collected from the demonstration

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section one of the bill amends section 19.18-a of the Mental Hygiene
Law to include inpatient and outpatient treatment in the services
provided by the heroin and opioid addiction wraparound services
demonstration program to make it permanent. It also requires the
Commissioner to provide a written evaluation of the program by June
30, 2018. This evaluation must create best practices to aid providers
with implementing wraparound services. This evaluation must be

available on the Office's website.

Section two of the bill amends Section 2 of chapter 32 of the laws of
2014 by extending the expiration date of the heroin and opioid
addition wraparound services demonstration program to June 30, 2018.
