Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 12, March 20, 2024
For purposes of this Part, the following definitions are
applicable:
(a) Substance use disorder
residential service or residential service means a substance use disorder
residential service providing an array of services for persons with substance
use disorders, which may be provided directly or through cooperative
relationships with other community service providers.
(b) Levels of service. There are three levels
of service that can be offered in a residential setting which are distinguished
by the complement of services available on site as well as the functional
capacity of the patient served in each setting:
(1) Intensive residential rehabilitation
services means substance use disorder residential services requiring twenty
four hours a day, seven days per week treatment in a structured environment for
individuals whose potential for independent living in recovery is contingent
upon social habilitation or rehabilitation. An integral part of this service is
the case management of additional services from other providers that are needed
by the resident. This level of residential service requires established written
agreements with other appropriately certified providers to furnish physical and
mental health treatment services, in addition to educational, social and
vocational services. These services are appropriate for individuals who require
substance use disorder services in a residential setting as determined by
utilizing the OASAS level of care determination protocol.
(2) Community residential services means
substance use disorder residential services providing supervised services to
persons making the transition to independent living. Persons appropriate for
this service require the support of a substance free environment while
receiving either outpatient services or educational and/or vocational services.
These transitional residential services are for individuals who are completing
or have completed a course of treatment, but who are not ready for independent
living yet due to unresolved clinical issues or unmet needs for personal,
social or vocational skills development. These services are appropriate for
individuals who require ongoing clinical support.
(3) Supportive living services means
substance use disorder treatment services which are designed to promote
independent living in a supervised setting for individuals who have completed
another course of treatment, are making the transition to independent living,
and whose need for services does not require staffing on site twenty-four hours
a day. These treatment services are for individuals who either require a
long-term supportive environment following care in another type of residential
service for an undetermined length of stay, or who are in need of a
transitional living environment prior to establishing independent community
living.
(c) Resident, for
purposes of this Part, means the individual admitted to and receiving services
from the residential service provider certified pursuant to this
Part.
