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