Progressive Treatment Program Guidelines

Public Law 2005, ch. 519, Part BBBB creates a Progressive Treatment Program in Maine. Program criteria are codified at 34-B M.R.S.A. § 3873. The Public Law limits initial availability of the program to persons previously hospitalized at either of the state’s two public psychiatric hospitals, Riverview Psychiatric Center or Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center. Each of those hospitals is associated with an assertive community treatment team that will provide community-based care for patients who have been ordered by the District Court to participation in the Progressive Treatment Program. This document describes the criteria and processes to be followed in operating the program. As use over time dictates, these guidelines may be revised as necessary.
