The Task Force on the Needs of Persons with Co-occurring Mental Illness and Substance Abuse Disorders was organized in October 2003 (Chapter 297, Acts of 2003). The Task Force will develop creative ways to provide efficient and thorough services to those who suffer from co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders. It will recommend how to fund these services, how and where to provide residence for those suffering from this combination of disorders, and how the Mental Hygiene Administration and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration can implement a training program for mental health and addiction counselors. Finally, the Task Force will recommend necessary legislation to implement its recommendations.
In December 2004, the Task Force submitted its interim report.
Authorization for the Task Force extends to December 31, 2005.
