County supervisors received updates on several state mental health initiatives on Tuesday, although major questions remained unanswered. The likely approach to implementing Senate Bill 43, the new state law that expands involuntary treatment for those incapacitated by substance use, gained some clarity on Tuesday. But critical details, such as increased resources to protect hospital emergency departments, remain vague. Additionally, details have not yet emerged on which local mental health programs are likely to be eliminated or reduced to shift spending from mental health care to housing and substance abuse treatment services, as required by Proposition 1, the statewide million-dollar tax referendum that voters narrowly approved in the March 5 primaries.
Los supervisores del condado recibieron actualizaciones sobre varias iniciativas estatales de salud mental el martes, aunque las grandes preguntas quedaron sin respuesta. El enfoque probable para implementar el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 43, la nueva ley estatal que amplía el tratamiento involuntario para aquellos incapacitados por el uso de sustancias, obtuvo cierta claridad el martes.
Estos centros han aliviado bastante la presión sobre los departamentos de emergencia en el norte del condado, proporcionando un lugar alternativo para dejar a aquellos detenidos en detenciones de realizadas bajo los criterios anteriores que incluyen comportamientos que podrían poner en peligro la vida propia o de otros además de la grave discapacidad.
