Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

Section 1 defines terms related to the provision of comprehensive outpa- tient service centers, authorizes the commissioners of the office of mental health and the office of addiction services and supports jointly license COS centers and develop standards and requirements for the construction, operation reporting and surveillance of comprehensive outpatient centers and details what the standards and requirements should include. Section 2 amends subdivision 4 of section 488 of the social services law to place COS centers under the jurisdiction of the Justice Center. Section 4, 5, and 6 amend the current law to allow for licensed COS centers to provide integrated physical health, mental health, and substance use services under the joint license established under this act and would not require any additional licensing. Section 7 provides that this act shall take effect upon the completion of the regulations required under this act and the process for setting rate reimbursement is complete.

The sponsor's argument

Why Pete Harckham says this is needed

Oftentimes patients suffering from substance use disorder have one or more co-occuring mental disorders that attribute greatly to their substance use disorder. Unfortunately, individuals who are suffering with substance use disorder and their loved ones are left to navigate multiple systems because there is no one place that will treat the whole person. To families and providers it is apparent that their substance use and mental health is deeply intertwined. Too often, the result is that both needs are left unmet as each system wastes valuable time deciding who this patient belongs to, and the consequences can be deadly. We are failing these individuals when we treat a substance use disorder while neglecting to recognize the mental health issue that may be the root cause of the patient's substance use disorder. This bill would provide a more patient-centered focus on holistic care and co-occurring disorders while reducing barriers to treatment. Individuals who receive integrated mental health and substance services show better clinical improvements and report better treatment satisfaction.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
