Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 8:111-2.19

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

(a) The Division may issue an order curtailing all new admissions and readmissions to a substance use disorders treatment facility including, but not limited to, the following circumstances:

1. Where violations of licensing rules are found, that have been determined to pose an immediate and serious threat of harm to clients of a substance use disorders treatment facility;

2. For the purpose of limiting the census of a facility if clients must be relocated upon closure; when the Division has issued a Notice of Proposed Revocation; or suspension of a substance use disorders treatment facility license;

3. Where the admission or readmission of new clients to a substance use disorders treatment facility would impair the facility's ability to correct serious or widespread violations of licensing rules related to direct client care and cause a diminution of the quality of care; or

4. For exceeding the licensed or authorized bed or service capacity of a substance use disorders treatment facility, except in those instances where exceeding the licensed or authorized capacity was necessitated by emergency conditions and where immediate and satisfactory notice was provided to the Division.

(b) The order for curtailment may be withdrawn upon a finding of the Division that the facility has achieved substantial compliance with the applicable licensing rules or Federal certification requirements and that there is no immediate and serious threat to client safety; or in the case of providers exceeding licensed capacity, has achieved a census equivalent to licensed and approved levels. Such order to lift a curtailment may reasonably limit the number and priority of clients to be admitted by the facility in order to protect client safety. The facility shall be notified that the order for curtailment has been withdrawn within 20 working days after the issuance of the finding by the Division.
