016.04.2-IX. READMISSION CRITERIA
Readmission to a Program depends on whether a patient who is seeking readmission previously withdrew from methadone/LAAM on a voluntary basis or as a result of an administrative decision due to the patient's violation of Program policies.
A. A patient, treated and later voluntarily detoxified from methadone/LAAM maintenance treatment, may be readmitted to the Program without evidence to support findings of current physiologic dependence, up to two (2) years after discharge, if the Program attended is able to document prior methadone/LAAM maintenance treatment of six (6) months or more, and the admitting physician, in his or her reasonable clinical judgment, finds readmission to methadone/LAAM maintenance treatment medically justified.
B. Patients seeking readmission to a Program after an administrative detoxification shall at a minimum wait thirty (30) days prior to applying for readmission. If a Program administratively detoxifies a patient twice in a year then the patient shall wait twelve (12) months to reapply for readmission.
