Section 4210.5 - General purpose and principles

The purpose of the act is to make it possible for every person with a mental disability to receive the kind of treatment he needs, when and where he needs it. The act requires that a range of services be available to persons with a mental illness or an intellectual disability so that they will receive a comprehensive treatment program through a continuum of care in their own communities and, whenever possible, while they remain in their own homes.

The provisions of this §4210.5 amended under sections 201(2) and (8) and 202 of the Mental Health and Intellectual Disability Act of 1966 (50 P.S. §§ 4201(2) and (8) and 4202).
