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 who are mentally ill or mentally retarded 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.
