(a) A patient is considered eligible for continued
stay in the intensive outpatient rehabilitation/treatment service
when the patient meets the diagnostic criteria and the conditions
under at least one paragraph out of subsection (b)(1) and (2) of this
section.
(b) Factors for continued intensive outpatient rehabilitation/treatment
services are listed in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection.
(1) Alcohol/drug rehabilitation/treatment complication.
The patient must meet the conditions of subparagraph (A) or (B) of
this paragraph.
(A) Patient demonstrates an insight and understanding
into the patient's personal relationship with mood-altering chemicals,
yet is not effectively addressing the life functions of work, social,
or primary relationships without the use of mood-altering chemicals.
(B) Patient, while physically abstinent from chemical
substance use, remains mentally preoccupied with such use to the extent
that the patient is unable to adequately address primary relationships,
or social or work tasks, but there are indications that, with continued
treatment, the patient will effectively address these issues.
(2) Psychiatric or medical complications. Documentation
in the record indicates an intervening medical or psychiatric event
which was serious enough to interrupt rehabilitation/treatment, but
the patient is again progressing in treatment.
