You can NOT be denied treatment because you are on
a prescribed medication
Programs that provide any type of residential service
You can read the full list of regulations here:
mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/regs/105cmr164.pdf
If you believe your rights have been violated, you have been harmed by a provider or treatment facility, or have received care not up to current quality standards: you should report this immediately to MA DPH. To file a report, call the confidential complaint line:
