Section 819.2 - Definitions

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.
