Intoxication/withdrawal/biomedical concerns are all minimal if they exist at all. • Medically Monitored: Services provided by an interdisciplinary staff of nurses, counselors, social workers, addiction specialist and other health and technical personnel under the direction of a licensed physician.

Assign the appropriate level of service and level of care 2. Do effective treatment planning and documentation 3. Make decisions about continued service or discharge by ongoing assessment and review of progress notes

4. Relationship Between ASAM PPC-2R and ASI-MV

5. Relationship Between ASAM PPC-2R and ASI-MV

6. ASAM PPC-2R(Dimension 1- Detoxification Services) • Level I.D: Ambulatory Detoxification without Extended On-site Monitoring (e.g., physician office practice/home health care) • Level II-D: Ambulatory Detoxification with Extended On-site Monitoring (e.g., detoxification on partial hospitalization program) • Level III-D: Residential/Inpatient Detoxification • Level III.2D: Clinically Managed Residential Detoxification (e.g., social detox) • Level III.7D: Medically Monitored Inpatient Detoxification • Level IV-D: Medically Managed Inpatient Detoxification

7. Residential/Inpatient Levels of Care • Level III: Residential/Inpatient Services • Level III.1- Clinically Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services (e.g., halfway house) • Level III.3- Clinically Managed Medium- Intensity residential Services (e.g., Therapeutic Rehabilitation Facility) • Level III.5- Clinically Managed High-Intensity Residential Services (e.g., Therapeutic Community, Residential Treatment Center) • Level III.7- Medically Monitored Intensive Inpatient Treatment • Level IV: Medically Managed Intensive Inpatient Treatment

8. The Differences Between Inpatient, Residential and Outpatient with Supportive Living

9. Levels of Care (PPC-2R)Overall Structure of Levels of Care & Services • Level 0.5- Early Intervention • Level I- Outpatient • Level II- Intensive Outpatient/Partial Hospitalization • Level III- Residential/Inpatient Treatment • Level IV- Medically Managed Intensive Inpatient Treatment

10. Level 0.5 is NOT a level of care or treatment but the combination of psycho-education and assessment. If the assessment indicates the need for treatment, the individual may receive treatment at the conclusion of the 0.5 service or concurrently

11. Outpatient Levels of Care & Services • Level 0.5- Early Intervention • Level I- Outpatient • Less that 9 contact Hours/Week • Level II- Intensive Outpatient/Partial Hospitalization • Level II.1- 9 or More Contact Hours/Week in a Structured Program (6 hrs. for adolescents) • Level II.5- 20 or More Contact Hours/Week in a Structured Program

12. The CIWA-Ar(Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol, Revised) • It requires under two minutes to administer • It requires no medial knowledge • It provides you with a quantitative score that predicts the severity of withdrawal from alcohol

13. Types of Managed Care Reviews

14. Managed Care A clinical Quality Process Rather than Simply A Way to Reduce Treatment Costs

15. Individualized Treatment • The four P’s • Patient/Participant Assessment • Problems/Priorities • Plan • Progress • Match Severity or Level of Functioning (Assets and Obstacles to Improvement) With Intensity of Service (Treatment Modalities, Strategies and Site of Care)

16. Level of Care Placement afterrelapseshould be based on an assessment of history and “here & now” andNOTon the assumption that if a patient relapsed after having been treated, then the previous level of care was not intense enough!

17. HOMELESSNESSalone is NOTsufficient reason for Level III Placement!

18. The more disadvantaged and complicated, the more important isCASE MANAGEMENT • Co-occurring medical and psychiatric disorders • Adolescents • Ex-Felons • Older Adults • Welfare/disability clients • Financial problems needs • Parenting needs • Pregnant Women • HIV- AIDS

19. The Three H’s of Assessment • History • Here and Now • How uncomfortable are you?

21. “Discharge Planning” is part of treatment planning, NOT a discrete activity

22. Assessing for “Lapse” vs. “Relapse”

23. “Imminent Danger” • A strong probability that certain behaviors will occur (e.g., continued alcohol or drug use or relapse or non-compliance with psychiatric medications) • The likelihood that these behaviors will present a significant risk of serious adverse consequences to the individual and/or others (as in a consistent pattern of driving while intoxicated) • The likelihood that such adverse events will occur in the very near future In order to constitute “imminent danger” ALL THREE ELEMENTS must be present
