Draft regulations require an individual to be discharged from ACT services if incarcerated or hospitalized for a period of 31 days. This would completely disrupt the continuity of care. It would not allow the team to be involved in discharge planning and consultation with inpatient treatment providers during their stay in jail or hospital. It would cause undue stress for individuals who are very fragile and derail their treatment. The regulations further stated that those individuals should be given priority for ACT services upon discharge. This creates a great amount of unnecessary work and requires the individual to go through another intake process, which is completely unnecessary and disruptive to services. Please consider retaining the current language that would allow for discharge if an individual’s period of incarceration or hospitalization were to exceed a year.
