N.D. Admin. Code 75-09.1-02-01
For the purposes of this chapter:
1. "Clinically managed low-intensity residential care" means providing an ongoing therapeutic environment for clients requiring some structured support in which treatment is directed toward applying recovery skills, preventing relapse, improving emotional functioning, promoting personal responsibility, and reintegrating the individual into the worlds of work, education, and family life, adaptive skills that may not have been achieved or have been diminished during the client's active addiction. Such programs must offer at least five hours per week of low-intensity treatment the focus of which will be on issues in ASAM dimensions four, five, six, and three, if appropriate mental health services are available onsite or by contractual arrangement. Clinically managed low-intensity residential care is also designed for the client suffering from chronic, long-term alcoholism or drug addiction and affords an extended period of time to establish sound recovery and a solid support system. The residential component of clinically managed low-intensity residential care may be combined with low-intensity outpatient, intensive outpatient, or day treatment.
2. "Program" means a clinically managed low-intensity residential care program.
