2021 Colorado Code|Title 27 - Behavioral Health|Article 70 - Medication Consistency for Individuals With Behavioral or Mental Health Disorders in the Criminal and Juvenile Justice Systems|§ 27-70-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds and declares that:   The lack of medication consistency for individuals with behavioral or mental health disorders who are involved in the criminal and juvenile justice systems creates additional, often serious, problems for these individuals;    It is critical that the state increase the likelihood that a broad spectrum of effective medications, including psychotropic medications, are available to these individuals, regardless of setting or service provider;    By working cooperatively with the criminal and juvenile justice systems and mental health service providers, the state can help ensure medication consistency and also decrease overall state costs through the use of a common and agreed upon medication formulary and cooperative purchasing;    Prior to its repeal in 2018, the medication consistency work group of the behavioral health transformation council identified mental health medications that are essential and preferred for a basic medication formulary that could be used across all public systems to increase medication continuity for individuals with behavioral or mental health disorders in the criminal and juvenile justice systems; and    Increasing information sharing across systems and service providers about the importance of medication consistency and the use of a common and agreed upon medication formulary and cooperative purchasing will result in long-term benefits for the state and for individuals with behavioral or mental health disorders who are involved in the criminal and juvenile justice systems.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 27 - Behavioral Health|Article 81 - Alcohol Use Education, Prevention, and Treatment|§ 27-81-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly recognizes the character and pervasiveness of substance use disorders and that substance use disorders are serious problems. The general assembly further finds and declares that these problems have been very seriously neglected and that the social and economic costs and the waste of human resources caused by substance use disorders are massive, tragic, and no longer acceptable. The general assembly believes that the best interests of this state demand an across-the-board, locally oriented attack on the massive problems of drug abuse and substance use disorders. The attack includes prevention, education, and treatment, and this article 81 provides a base from which to launch the attack and reduce the tragic human loss.    It is the policy of this state that persons with substance use disorders, persons intoxicated by alcohol, and persons under the influence of drugs should be afforded treatment so they may lead normal lives as productive members of society. The general assembly finds and declares that substance use disorders are matters of statewide concern.     History.

  The director shall adopt and may amend and repeal rules for acceptance of persons into the substance use disorder treatment program, considering available treatment resources and facilities, for the purpose of early and effective treatment of persons with substance use disorders, persons intoxicated by alcohol, and persons under the influence of drugs.

An individualized treatment plan shall be prepared and maintained on a current basis for each patient.    Provision shall be made for a continuum of coordinated treatment services, so that a person who leaves a facility or a form of treatment will have available and utilize other appropriate treatment.

  A person with a substance use disorder, including a minor, may apply for voluntary treatment directly to an approved treatment facility.

  A person intoxicated by alcohol, under the influence of drugs, or incapacitated by substances, including a minor if provided by rules of the office of behavioral health, may voluntarily admit himself or herself to an approved treatment facility for an emergency evaluation to determine need for treatment.    The administrator shall immediately evaluate or examine a person who voluntarily enters an approved treatment facility. If the person is found to be in need of treatment, the administrator shall admit the person or refer the person to another appropriate facility. If a person is found not to be in need of treatment, the administrator shall release the person and may refer the person to another appropriate facility.    Except as provided in subsection (7) of this section, a treatment facility shall immediately release a voluntarily admitted person upon the person's request.    A person who is not admitted to an approved treatment facility or referred to another health facility, and who has no money, may be taken to the person's home, if any. If the person has no home, the approved treatment facility may assist the person in obtaining shelter.    If a person is admitted to an approved treatment facility, the person's family or next of kin must be notified as promptly as possible in accordance with federal confidentiality regulations for substance use disorder patient records, which regulations are found at 42 CFR part 2, as amended. If an adult person requests that there be no notification, the adult person's request must be respected.    If the administrator determines that it is for the person's benefit, the person must be encouraged to agree to further diagnosis and appropriate voluntary treatment.    Nothing in this section precludes the administrator from seeking emergency commitment of a person as provided in section 27-81-111 or involuntary commitment of a person as provided in section 27-81-112, regardless of whether the person has been voluntarily admitted under this section. In such case, the administrator's further conduct is governed by section 27-81-111 or 27-81-112, as applicable.     History.
