(a) These regulations set forth minimum standards for the provision of withdrawal and stabilization services for persons suffering from acute or crisis stages of substance use disorder.

(b) The primary function of a withdrawal and stabilization service is the medical management and treatment of acute withdrawal, resulting in a referral to an appropriate level of care. Certified providers of withdrawal and stabilization services may provide one or more of the following services as further defined in this Part:

(1) medically managed withdrawal and stabilization services;

(2) medically supervised inpatient withdrawal and stabilization services; and/or

(3) medically supervised outpatient withdrawal and stabilization services.

(c) Withdrawal and stabilization services can be the first step in the recovery process and must be provided in an atmosphere which protects the patient's dignity. Therefore, it is expected that providers of withdrawal and stabilization services will establish meaningful linkages for supporting services, including appointments for admission, linkages to supportive services and those services identified by use of an Office designated level of care determination tool for the appropriate level of care. All services shall be provided in a manner that is person centered, strength based and trauma informed.
