Existing law provides for the licensing and regulation of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, as defined, by the State Department of Health Care Services. Existing law authorizes those facilities to provide incidental medical services to a resident of the facility if those medical services are provided by, or under supervision of, a licensed physician and surgeon who is knowledgeable about addiction medicine. This bill would require a person hired by an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility who has frequent contact with clients of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility to be subject to a criminal record review, as specified, and would exempt clients from this requirement. The bill would require the department to conduct this review, and allow the department to approve or deny a person's involvement in the provision of services based on the results of that review. The bill would prohibit the department from automatically denying that involvement due to a drug-related conviction, except in extraordinary circumstances.
