leaving the 7-day residential program, a LADC shall conduct an exit evaluation
and assessment interview.
(b) The
exit evaluation and assessment interview shall:
(1) Be a personal, individual interview
performed by a LADC employed by the phase II program provider;

(7) Include either a positive or a negative
finding for alcohol or other drug abuse and/or dependence and indicate if there
is a need for further evaluation or counseling.
