Subpart
1.
Admission criteria.
A license holder must develop resident admission criteria
consistent with the license holder's statement of intended use and program
services certifications. The admission criteria must describe the age of the
resident to be served, whether both male and female residents are served,
whether there are limitations about who the program will serve, and what types
of problems and primary needs the program will meet during the resident's
stay.
Subp. 2.
Ability to meet resident needs.
Before admission of a resident, the license holder must
examine the placement agency's information about the resident and must
determine and document whether the program can meet the resident's needs. The
license holder must document whether:
A. the resident is a danger to the resident's
self or others;
B. the relevant
screening and assessment of the resident was completed;
C. the program is able to meet the resident's
cultural, emotional, educational, mental health, and physical needs;
D. the resident is a sex offender. The
license holder must take special precautions when a resident is considered
likely to engage in sexually abusive behavior. The license holder must assess
the resident to determine which precautions may be appropriate, such as to give
the resident an individual sleeping room, and direct staff to pay special
attention to the resident's interactions with others. The license holder's care
for a resident likely to engage in sexually abusive behavior must protect the
resident, other residents, staff, and the community. The license holder must
consider the vulnerability of other residents in the facility when caring for a
sex offender; and
E. the resident
has a substance use disorder. If the resident requires a chemical use
assessment, the chemical use assessment must be conducted by an alcohol and
drug counselor licensed according to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 148C, or an
assessor, as defined in part
9530.6605, subpart
4. Information obtained in
the chemical use assessment must be recorded in the resident's record and must
include the information required in part

assessment must address the resident's:
(1)
acute intoxication/withdrawal potential;
(2) biomedical conditions and
complications;
(3) emotional,
behavioral, and cognitive conditions and complications;
(4) readiness for change;
(5) relapse, continued use, and continued
problem potential;
(6) recovery
environment; and
(7) need for
additional support services, such as transportation or resident care, in order
to participate in the program.
A summary of the assessment results must be written by a
chemical dependency counselor or assessor, indicating whether the needs
identified in the assessment can be addressed by the license holder while the
resident participates in the license holder's program, or whether the resident
must be referred to an appropriate treatment setting. The summary must be
written according to subitems (1) to (7).

location that ensures the personal privacy of the resident.
