N.J. Admin. Code § 10:161B-2.19 - Curtailment of admissions
(a) DCN&L may
issue an order curtailing all new admissions and readmissions to a substance
use disorder treatment facility including, but not limited to, the following
circumstances:
1. Where violations of
licensing regulations are found that have been determined to pose an immediate
and serious threat of harm to clients of a substance use disorder treatment
facility ;
2. For the purpose of
limiting the census of a facility if clients must be relocated upon closure,
when DCN&L has issued a Notice of Proposed Revocation or Suspension of a
substance use disorder treatment facility license ;
3. Where the admission or readmission of new
clients to a substance use disorder treatment facility would impair the
facility 's ability to correct serious or widespread violations of licensing
regulations related to direct client care and cause a diminution of the quality
of care; or
4. For exceeding the
licensed or authorized bed or service capacity of a substance use disorder
treatment facility , except in those instances where exceeding the licensed or
authorized capacity was necessitated by emergency conditions and where
immediate and satisfactory notice was provided to DCN&L .
(b) The order for curtailment may
be withdrawn upon a DCN&L finding that the facility has achieved
substantial compliance with the applicable licensing regulations or Federal
certification requirements and that there is no immediate and serious threat to
client safety; or in the case of providers exceeding licensed capacity, has
achieved a census equivalent to licensed and approved levels. Such order to
lift a curtailment may reasonably limit the number and priority of clients to
be admitted by the facility in order to protect client safety. The facility
shall be notified whether the order for curtailment has been withdrawn within
20 working days after the DCN&L finding.
