Why Standards Now?Why Standards Now?
To describe quality treatmentin a chronic care model
To support performance measurement and quality improvement efforts
by programs and counties
Treatment Standards CriteriaTreatment Standards Criteria
Continuum of care that includesmany different models and disciplines of
support, treatment and thereafter
Knowledge-based, evidence-based
Inclusive of all clients and providers
And…
• A maximal number of choices to meet the diverse needs and preferences of our clients
• Flexibility to allow for innovation• Flexibility to accommodate changes in
treatment as our understanding grows• Provision of quality care with scarce
resources
Knowledge-Based StandardsKnowledge-Based Standards
Incorporate our current understanding of:
• Substance use conditions, problems, and dependency (physiology and behavior)
• Barriers to engagement• Best business practices
Treatment GoalsTreatment Goals
Are clients participating in their care,reducing their substance use,
and improving their health and social functioning
during the course of treatment?
Skills for LifeSkills for Life
Are clients adequately preparedwith the skills and social supportsto sustain a prolonged recovery
outside the boundaries of the program?

• Outreach to related agencies, FAQ sheet• Ongoing assessment and planning• Warm referrals• Relapse not a prelude to discharge• Discontinuation of prescribed medication
not a condition for entry into programs• Less reporting, more time with client
2020 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Sheet
Each program should maintain a document for distribution on demand, that describes its approach to treatment and the services it offers. This document should provide information in an easy-to-understand format and should include answers to questions most often asked by clients and/or their significant others, such as:
What does your program do?
Does what you do work, and for whom?
How will you determine what I need?
Will you help me find the right level of care, even if you cannot provide it?
Do I have a say in my care? Can I tell you when it isn’t working?
Do you employ persons that are trained to provide services for people like me?
Will you tell me all of this, and what it costs, before I enter your care?
5100 Alcohol and Drug-Free Environment
Alcohol and/or other drug programs shall provide an alcohol and drug-free environment. An alcohol and drug-free lifestyle should be the goal for program clients, and all participants shall be alcohol and drug-free while participating in program activities.
The practice of discharging clients for the same reason they were admitted (substance use) is not acceptable. Recognizing that substance use disorder is a chronic, relapsing disorder, the program shall make every effort to retain clients in treatment, and shall have written policies regarding appropriate supports to the client during a relapse episode. These policies shall be consistent with the alcohol and drug-free environment of the program.
Clients may be discharged if they engage in illegal activities or activities listed under Title 9 that compromise their safety or the safety of others, such as possessing, selling, or sharing alcohol or other drugs on-site at a program facility.
5200 Medications
Clients currently on medications will be seeking services. Clients shall not be denied services based solely on the fact that they are taking prescribed medication, regardless of the type of medication. Accordingly:
1. Programs shall not deny services to a client with current, physician-prescribed medications, including those with psychoactive characteristics. However, a program may consider whether the nature and extent of the prescribed medications requires a higher level of care than offered at that program.
2. With client consent, providers shall coordinate with the client’s physician when she/he enters treatment with prescribed medications having psychoactive characteristics. Services and Supports Plans (5500) shall be reviewed with the prescribing physician.
5400 Referral Arrangements
If, during the course of program services, the client is assessed (5300) and determined to be in need of and ready for services not provided by the program, the program shall refer the client to appropriate services and with permission of the client, facilitate the first contact.
For each client for whom a referral is made, an entry shall be made in the client's record (6700), documenting the staff member making and following up the referral, the person and agency to which the referral was made, and the date of first service received by the client from the agency to which the referral was made.
5500 Services and Supports Plan
A plan of services and supports shall be developed in collaboration with the client, with careful attention to individual needs. The plan should be developed as soon as the client is ready, using assessment (5300) as a guide.
It should include:• The client’s most important goal(s);• Measurable, time sensitive steps that the client will make toward
achieving their goal(s); and• Measurable, time sensitive steps that the program will take to
support the client in achieving his/her goal(s).
Services vital for client attendance, such as child care and transportation, shall be included in the services and supports plan.
The plan shall include Treatment and Support Services (5600) for substance use disorders and should be updated and revised when appropriate. Revisions/amendments shall occur as steps are accomplished and next steps are identified, when goals important to the client have been met or have changed significantly, or when new support needs become apparent.
