Purpose, from the sponsor's memo
This bill aims to create a chemical dependence detoxification reinvest- ment program with a mechanism to link patients to treatment upon the conclusion of their detoxification. This bill would take funds that were saved by providing more effective treatment and reinvest them into the system to treat others suffering from chemical dependence.

The sponsor's argument
Why Kevin S. Parker says this is needed
In the area of addiction treatment, one of the most pressing needs for systemic reform relates to detoxification for individuals with addiction treatment needs. The current detoxification service delivery system relies almost exclusively on intensive, inpatient, hospital-based detox- ification. Many of those served in hospital-based programs do not require such a high level of care and could be served in less intensive, and less expensive, community-based detoxification programs. In order to meet increasing demands for community based detoxification services community based providers need additional financial resources to main- tain an appropriate level of care.
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.
