2960.0490 INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT PLAN.

Subpart 1.

Treatment plan required.

The certificate holder must meet the treatment plan requirements of subparts 2 and 3. These treatment plan requirements may be substituted for the requirements of part 2960.0180, subpart 2, item B, if chemical dependency is the only certificate the license holder has been issued. The individual treatment plan may be a continuation of the initial services plan required in part 2960.0485.

Subp. 2.

Plan must reflect resident's current condition.

An individual treatment plan for a resident in a certified chemical dependency program must continually evolve based on new information gathered about the resident's condition and whether planned treatment interventions have had the intended effect. The plan must provide for the involvement of the resident's family at the earliest opportunity consistent with the resident's treatment needs. The plan begins on completion of the comprehensive assessment and is subject to amendment until the resident is discharged.

The resident must have an opportunity to have active, direct involvement in selecting the anticipated outcomes of the treatment process and in developing the individual treatment plan. The individual treatment plan must be signed by the resident and a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, and the participation of others must be noted in the plan. The individual treatment plan and documentation related to it must be kept at the facility in the resident's case file and also sent to other professionals as indicated within designated time lines.
