(c) Referrals for needed services that are not provided directly by the agency; and

(d) Interventions, for identified issues, which match the client's readiness for change; and

The individualized treatment plan must be developed within ten calendar days of the client's admission to an intensive outpatient treatment program, day treatment program, clinically-managed, low-intensity residential treatment program, or medically monitored, intensive inpatient treatment program.

The individualized treatment plan must be developed within thirty calendar days of the client's admission to a counseling services program.

All treatment plans must be reviewed, signed, and dated by the addiction counselor or counselor trainee. The signature must be followed by the counselor's credentials.
