Chapter:

PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS STABILIZATION UNITS AND SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS

Overview

RULE:

65E-12.110

Integrated Crisis Stabilization Unit and Addictions Receiving Facility Services

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rulemaking is to expand the scope of Rule 65E-12.110, F.A.C., to include integrated adult crisis stabilization unit and addictions receiving facility services (in addition to children’s facilities), to update statutory references, to eliminate archaic language, and to modify certain provisions of the rule to enhance the quality of services in the facilities regulated by this rule.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rulemaking would provide that integrated Crisis Stabilization Unit/Addictions Receiving Facilities (CSU/ARFs) may serve adults and children. The proposed rulemaking provides minimum standards for eligibility criteria for CSU/ARF service recipients, clinical procedures to be used in CSU/ARFs, staffing requirements, and operational, administrative, and financing requirements, including procedures for licensure and designation. With certain exceptions specified, CSU/ARFs would be subject to the requirements of Chapters 65E-12 and 65E-5, F.A.C. and exempt from the requirements of Chapter 65D-30, F.A.C. CSU/ARFs would be required to admit any individual who would otherwise be eligible for admission to a CSU under Chapter 397, F.S., or to an ARF under Chapter 394, F.S. CSU/ARFs would provide integrated CSU and ARF services based on the particular needs of each individual served.
