Section 05.02.01.154 - PROGRAM OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
01.General Requirements.
a. Providers shall provide vigorous programming that minimizes periods of idle time, addresses behavioral problems of juvenile offenders, and teaches and promotes healthy life choices. Programs should specifically address those factors in juvenile offender's lives that contribute to delinquency and that can be realistically changed.
b. Providers shall encourage appropriate telephone contact, mail contact, and visitation between juvenile offenders and their families.
c. Providers must structure and document services offered in the program so that continuity in case planning is obvious. Medical health, mental health, substance abuse, social skills, educational, vocational, independent living, and other special needs identified in the assessment must be clearly addressed in the service implementation plan. Services provided to address those needs must be documented regularly.
d. Service needs remaining at the time of release from Department custody or transfer must be accounted for in the reintegration plan for each juvenile offender.
e. The Provider will not admit more juveniles into care than the number specified on the Provider's license. Providers wishing to increase capacity are responsible for contacting the applicable licensing agency. A copy of the written confirmation to the Provider from the applicable licensing agency for verbal approval to exceed the licensed capacity must be forwarded to the Department's Quality Improvement Services Bureau.
f. The Provider must have and strictly follow a comprehensive policy covering the supervision of juvenile offenders, including a plan for monitoring all movement of those juvenile offenders both in the facility and, as appropriate, within the community. Staff at the facility must be aware of the location of every juvenile offender assigned to that program at all times.
g. Programs may not, under any circumstances, involve juvenile offenders in plethysmographic assessments.
