Statute overview

About this statute

This law states its purpose: to establish rules to guarantee comprehensive care for people who consume psychoactive substances and to create a national award for entities committed to prevention. El abuso y la adicción a sustancias psicoactivas deben tratarse como una enfermedad que requiere atención integral por parte del Estado. People with mental disorders or substance-use related conditions have a right to integral care, and the health regulation commission must update benefit plans and include the needed treatments and medicines. Institutions that offer substance-use care programs must meet the applicable habilitation conditions for the services they provide. Los servicios de atención integral o de farmacodependencia deben informar a la persona sobre el tratamiento antes de atenderla; la persona puede revocar su consentimiento en cualquier momento, y el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social debe reglamentar la materia dentro de 12 meses desde la promulgación.
