Chapter 52A - PSYCHIATRIC ADULT ACUTE PARTIAL HOSPITAL AND PARTIAL HOSPITAL SERVICES
Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 10:52A-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 Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) funded Psychiatric Acute Partial Hospital (APH), and Partial Hospital (PH) services for adults. To the extent that the provisions of this chapter conflict with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 10:52, APH and PH services shall be regulated by this chapter.
(b) The concepts of wellness and recovery shall serve as the guiding principles in the delivery of both adult acute partial hospital and partial hospital services. As a result of their involvement with this program, beneficiaries should be able to better manage their illnesses and improve the quality of their lives. Each program shall identify and build upon each recovering beneficiary's strengths and areas of health in addressing the beneficiary's needs. The environment in which the program services are delivered shall encourage hope and emphasize individual dignity and respect. As recovery is most often a process, not an event, the provider shall address the needs of each beneficiary over time and across different levels of disability. Recovery principles shall be applied to the full range of engagement, intervention, treatment, rehabilitation and supportive services that a beneficiary may need.
