Section 388-877B-0360. Substance use disorder outpatient treatment services requiring program-specific certification—Level I outpatient treatment services.

Level I outpatient treatment services are substance use disorder outpatient treatment services that provide substance use disorder treatment to an individual less than twenty-four-hours-a-day, including individual and group treatment services of varying duration and intensity according to a prescribed plan. Level I outpatient treatment services require program-specific certification by the department's division of behavioral health and recovery.

An agency providing Level I outpatient treatment services must:

(1) Develop an initial individual service plan before the individual's participation in treatment.

(2) Conduct group or individual substance use disorder counseling sessions for each individual, each month, according to an individual service plan.

(3) Conduct and document an individual service plan review for each individual once a month for the first three months and quarterly thereafter or sooner if required by other laws.

(4) Document progress notes in a timely manner and before any subsequent scheduled appointments of the same type of service session or group type occur, or documentation as to why this did not occur. Progress notes must include the date, time, duration, participant names, and a brief summary of the session and the name of the staff member who provided it.
