§ 10:162-4.5. Determining levels of treatment
(b) Inpatient treatment is appropriate for clients who are alcohol or
drug abusers, who are experiencing physical dependence on alcohol or drugs,
and/or who have had previous outpatient failure.
(c) Intensive outpatient is appropriate for clients who meet the
criteria for inpatient treatment but who are required by the Intoxicated Driver
Resource Center/Intoxicated Driving Program to attend intensive outpatient
treatment in lieu of inpatient treatment. Such clients must attend more than 16
treatment sessions within 16 weeks. Clients may be referred to intensive
outpatient treatment because the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center/Intoxicated
Driving Program determines that the client's treatment can be better addressed
in an outpatient program and/or inpatient treatment is not available.
(d) Self help groups are appropriate for clients under the following
circumstances:
1. A self help group may be used as a treatment source if the client has
been in the self help group for a minimum of three months and is currently
active; or
2. Self help groups may also be used for clients in addition to
inpatient or outpatient treatment.
