Plan for providing services
(a)Services to be provided by a facility's substance use disorder treatment and transition services program shall be in accordance with a plan developed by participating local governmental units, in collaboration with the sheriff, taking into account local needs and available resources.
(b)Any such plan required by subdivision (a) of this section shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(1)Alcohol, benzodiazepine, heroin and opioid withdrawal management;
(2)At least one formulation of every form of medication assisted treatments approved for the treatment of a substance use disorder by the Federal Food and Drug Administration necessary to ensure that each individual participating in the program receives the particular form found to be the most effective at treating and meeting their individual needs. The Commissioner may allow a facility a limited exemption to providing opioid full agonist treatment medications where the Commissioner determines that no providers that have received the required accreditation are located within a reasonable distance of the facility. A facility that does not have the resources available to meet standards set forth herein may apply to the Commissioner for a limited exception allowing such facility to enter into an agreement with a community- or jail-based program offering substance use disorder treatment and transition services to provide such services to individuals in the facility. Any such determination shall be reviewed on a regular basis;
(3)Group and individual counseling and clinical support;
(4)Peer support;
(5)Discharge planning; and
(6)Re-entry and transitional supports.
(c)Prior to implementation, the plan required by subdivision (a) of this section shall be approved by the Commissioner.
(d)A copy of the plan required by subdivision (a) of this section, any and all amendments and revisions thereof, and any approvals, exemptions and exceptions granted by the Commissioner shall be maintained within the facility by both the chief administrative officer and the jail physician.
