The sponsor's argument

Why Pete Harckham says this is needed

The intensive addiction and medical integrated services program is an initiative designed to support individuals suffering from both medical conditions and substance use disorders by developing models that remove barriers to accessing the level of care needed. Current addiction treatment centers do not have the ability to treat individuals with medical conditions. This demonstration program would create a person-centered treatment model that assists individuals with both sets of diagnoses and ensures each individual receives .a level of care appropriate to them Services encompassed by such a person-centered treatment model. Because this model takes a holistic approach, the program will help individuals improve their situation by providing them with hope. The current model is not capable of meeting the medical needs of these individuals, but the kinds of services offered through the demonstration program will help someone who would otherwise be denied treatment have the ability to enter treatment if they choose. The primary purpose of this program is to provide services which are not currently offered to one of the most vulnerable populations. Giving people the support they need to be healthier by providing integrated services will pay back dividends in increased productivity, earning potential, and a decrease in New York's overdose fatality rate.

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.
