Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 10:37F-1.1 - Scope and purpose
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The rules in this chapter shall apply to all providers of partial care services (PC) for adults.
(b) The purpose of PC services is to assist individuals with severe mental illness to achieve community integration through valued living, learning, working, and social roles and to prevent hospitalization and relapse. The role of PC is therefore to facilitate consumer integration into the community, not to become a permanent outcome although it is recognized that some consumers may need the support of PC for long periods of time. This balance between recovery and clinical services is accomplished through the provision of individualized, comprehensive, non-residential, structured programming which provide, but are not limited to, counseling, case management, psychoeducation, pre-vocational services, social and leisure services, and psychiatric services, and shall be available to eligible individuals on an hourly basis for up to five hours per day at least five times per week.
