§ 245G.04 — Service Initiation
Plain-Language Summary
This section sets the steps a substance use disorder treatment program must take when service first begins. The program must complete an initial services plan within 24 hours of service initiation, addressing the client's immediate health and safety concerns and treatment needs until a full individual treatment plan is developed. Within 24 hours, the program must also determine whether the client is a vulnerable adult (every adult client of a residential program counts as one) and prepare an individual abuse prevention plan if so. The program must provide commissioner-approved opioid educational material to the client on the day service begins.
