819.10 Additional requirements for supportive living services.
(a) Admission criteria.
In addition to the admission criteria applicable to residential services generally, an individual admitted to a supportive living service must meet the following criteria:
(1) the individual requires support of a residence that provides an alcohol-and drug-free environment;
(2) the individual requires the peer support of fellow residents to maintain abstinence;
(3) the individual does not require 24 hours a day on-site supervision by clinical staff; and
(4) the individual exhibits the skills and strengths necessary to maintain abstinence and readapt to independent living in the community while receiving the minimal clinical and peer support provided by this residential environment.
(b) Clinical services.
There shall be scheduled clinical interaction at least one time per week designed to support residents in their efforts to maintain abstinence and reduce the probability of relapse.
(c) Service plan review.
Each service plan, once established, must be reviewed at least every six months thereafter, at which time the progress toward accomplishing the goals and objectives is reviewed. The case of any resident who is not making progress toward accomplishing goals or who is disruptive to the service must be discussed and the service plan revised accordingly. The service plan must be signed by the resident and the clinical staff member.
(d) Staffing.
Supportive living services shall be staffed as follows:
(1) there shall be at least one full-time equivalent clinical staff member for each 15 residents; and
(2) there shall be sufficient clinical staff members to ensure at least one visit to each supportive living service once per week, in order to assure the proper maintenance of the living site and that residents are maintaining an environment and schedule appropriate to and supportive of each individual's abstinent, independent living; and
(3) there shall be sufficient clinical staff members to ensure that each resident is contacted personally at least once a week by staff to assure safety, adherence to the established service plan and support for daily independent living, through guidance, training, and assistance, as necessary.
