Section 388-877B-0260. Substance use disorder residential treatment services requiring program-specific certification—Recovery house.

Recovery house services are substance use disorder residential treatment services that provide a program of care and treatment with social, vocational, and recreational activities to aid in individual adjustment to abstinence and to aid in job training, employment, or participating in other types of community services. Recovery house services require program-specific certification by the department's division of behavioral health and recovery.

An agency providing recovery house services must:

(1) Provide an individual a minimum of five hours of treatment each week consisting of individual or group counseling and education regarding drug-free and sober living, and general re-entry living skills.

(2) Document progress notes in a timely manner and before any subsequent scheduled appointments of the same type of service session or group type occur. Progress notes should include the date, time, duration, participant names, and a brief summary of the session and the name of the staff member who provided it.

(3) Conduct and document an individual service plan review at least monthly.
