Massachusetts S1711 mandates consistent medication for addiction treatment in state and county correctional facilities.
Massachusetts S1711 requires all state and county correctional facilities to provide medication for addiction treatment (MAT) for substance use disorder or alcohol use disorder. It mandates that MAT be offered within 24 hours of admission unless a qualified addiction specialist determines otherwise. The bill ensures that MAT is not discontinued due to disciplinary infractions and that individuals receive the same dose of medication they were receiving before incarceration.
