24 Miss. Code. R. 2-31.4 - Level 3.1 Clinically Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services
Rules in this section are based on the ASAM's established criteria for Level 3.1 Clinically Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services.
A. Level 3 Clinically
Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services are provided in a safe and stable
group living environment which promotes recovery while encouraging the pursuit
of vocational or related opportunities.
B. Admission into a Level 3 Clinically
Managed Low-Intensity Residential Program is based on a Level of Care (LOC)
Placement assessment, in accordance with the ASAM Criteria, and usually follows
treatment in a more intensive level of care. The person's length of stay is
determined by the goals the person has achieved on their Individual Service
Plan. There is no fixed length of stay in this level of care. People placed in
a low-intensity residential setting (Level 3.1 or higher) must be re-assessed
at minimum every 14 calendar days to ensure level of care appropriateness. The
multi-disciplinary team and treatment professionals have a responsibility to
make admission, continued service, and discharge decisions based on clinical
evaluation of a person's assessed needs and treatment progress for all people
seeking services including those people who are under a court order with a
specified length of stay. If a person has improved significantly enough to
warrant discharge or transfer to another level of care, then the treatment
professional has a responsibility to contact the appropriate court and seek to
have the court order amended. Provider should refer to the current version of
the ASAM Criteria.
C. The program
components include at a minimum:
1. People
must receive a minimum of five (5) hours of treatment a week.
2. At least one (1) hour of individual
therapy per week with each person.
3. A minimum attendance of at least two (2)
hours of group therapy per week. Group therapy must be offered at times that
accommodate the schedules of the people.
4. Family therapy must be offered and
available as needed. Documentation of attendance or refusal is
required.
5. Psychoeducational
groups individualized to the people. Topics to be addressed may include, but
are not limited to, vocation, education, employment, recovery, or related
skills.
6. Therapeutic and
leisure/recreational/physical exercise activities (with the appropriate medical
professional's approval in accordance with the professional's scope of
practice).
D. A written
master schedule of activities that documents the provision of the following
services:
1. Group therapy;

leisure/recreational/physical exercise activities.
E. Employment for people in Low-Intensity
Residential Services must be community-based and not part of the service
