What are the 亚博体育官网 Levels of Care?
The 亚博体育官网 Criteria text describes treatment as a continuum marked by four broad levels of service and an early intervention level. Within the five broad levels of care, decimal numbers are used to further express gradations of intensity of services.These levels of care provide a standard nomenclature for describing the continuum of recovery-oriented addiction services. With the 亚博体育官网 CONTINUUM™, clinicians are able to conduct a multidimensional assessment that explores individual risks and needs, as well as strengths, skills and resources. 亚博体育官网 CONTINUUM then provides clinicians with a recommended 亚博体育官网 Level of Care that matches intensity of treatment services to identified patient needs. To fully understand the different 亚博体育官网 Levels of Care and appropriate matching of services to patient needs, refer to the Service Planning and Placement chapter in The 亚博体育官网 Criteria: Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related, and Co-Occurring Conditions (2013).
