Section 30-22-5 - Licensing of private psychiatric hospitals

Private in-patient facilities for the treatment of psychiatric patients exclusively may be licensed to offer services to the full range of psychiatric patients or to some sub-groups of psychiatric patients with mental health problems in addition to alcoholism, drug addictions, developmental disabilities or similar conditions. In the event that a hospital service is offered to a limited clientele only, the license application shall so state and the license issued shall designate the limitation of service authorized by the state department of social and rehabilitation services. The responsibility for licensing psychiatric wards of general hospitals rests with the Kansas state department of health and environment.
