Kan. Admin. Regs. § 26-52-17 - Alcohol and substance abuse services

(a) Each licensee shall provide crisis intervention services to patients suffering from an alcohol or substance abuse diagnosis. The purpose of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment in a crisis intervention center is to stabilize the patient, provide treatment for acute withdrawal symptoms, and to provide referral sources to reintegrate the patient back into the community or other appropriate treatment setting. The center shall provide care to patients whose withdrawal signs and symptoms are sufficiently severe to require primary medical and nursing care services. Each licensee shall ensure that 24-hour observation, monitoring, and counseling services are provided.

(b) Each licensee shall develop and implement written policies and procedures for acute detoxification treatment, medication-assisted treatment, substance use disorder assessments, and nicotine replacement therapy services, which shall be provided in accordance with Section 3 of the Kansas department for aging and disability services' document titled "standards for licensing crisis intervention center substance use disorder programs," dated March 1, 2022, which is hereby adopted by reference.

(c) Each licensee shall develop and implement written policies and procedures for proper management of SUD and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services, which shall be based upon the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria 3.7 "medically monitored intensive inpatient" dated March 9, 2020, or ASAM criteria 4.0 "medically managed intensive inpatient" dated August 21, 2020.

(d) Each patient admitted to the center for more than 24 hours for acute detoxification treatment, medication-assisted treatment, substance use disorder assessment, and nicotine replacement therapy services shall have a treatment plan developed by a behavioral health professional, with assistance from the case manager.

(e) A behavioral health professional shall assess each patient to determine if the patient continues to meet criteria pursuant to K.S.A. 59-29c08, and amendments thereto, for admission to the center.

(f) Each patient admitted to the center for acute detoxification treatment, medication-assisted treatment, substance use disorder assessment, and nicotine replacement therapy services shall have a discharge plan developed by a behavioral health professional, with assistance from the case manager, which provides appropriate referrals for further assessment and treatment following discharge from the center.
