The integrity of these services is dependent on quality clinical interventions, scheduled duration of interventions, and frequency of care weekly. These are the vital components of care.Therefore, key quality metrics driving program integrity include milieu, pharmacological interventions, frequency of each episode of care and duration of each episode of carePROGRAM INTEGRITY includes:1. Structure/ time/ content of all groups and services 2. Expectations regarding attendance, drug testing (medication monitoring), LOS and hours per week3. Expectations regarding use - limitations around harm reduction and relapse 4. Program safety - constant client observation, engagement, surveillance while on campus 5. Documentation quality tied to PCP goals, interventions provided, response to interventions6. Expected KPIs - duration and frequency of care, admitted clients per week, relapse rate/positive urine screening, ED, or hospitalizations-clinical stability Harm Reduction, albeit controversial does have a role in the continuum of interventions for the treatment of substance use disorder and addiction, however harm reduction is defined as reducing the severity of the outcomes of behaviors, IE death, overdose, infection, and DOES NOT directly address the biopsychosocial and spiritual aspects of the brain diseases of substance use disorder and addiction. Therefore, harm reduction does not appropriately overlay on intensive treatment services such as SACOT/SAIOP which are designed to change behavior, thinking, and beliefs. When a client is unable to maintain abstinence during ambulatory treatment, it is called relapse, and appropriate treatment revisions and interventions must be made to assist the client in working toward the biopsychosocial and spiritual changes needed for ongoing and continued recovery. Therefore, use during intensive treatment must be addressed as a relapsing issue. ASAM defines SACOT and SIOP services from a threefold perspective or what we can call the three components of treatment. TIME: Like all medical treatment protocols, frequency and duration are treatment is critical. In SACOT and SAIOP, duration or time spent on clinical interventions per episode of care, inclusive of group counseling, individual counseling, psycho educational counseling, therapeutic recreation/socialization interventions, etc. is equivalent to the dose or intensity of a medication. Frequency of episodes of care, or times attended weekly, is equivalent to any prescription for medical care that clearly outlines how often the medication, procedure, etc. should be administered. Frequency and duration both are critical components in the structure of SACOT and SAIOP, the integrity of the intervention and combined help determine a length of stay. Honoring LOS and therefore duration of each episode and frequency of those episodes is a key component for clients to process the beginning and end of each phase of treatment. Care is not arbitrary; LOS is not arbitrary. Recognizing the unique characteristics of each level of care in treatment is vital for a robust therapeutic experience for clientsMILIEU- This is the structure/environment that is established to allow for quality, best practice, standards of clinical practice/interventions to be provided including the use of SAMHSA Illness, management and recovery practices (IMR), Eight Dimensions of Wellness, MATRIX model, Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders, Relapse Prevention, Motivational Interventions, 12 Step Integration, Disease Management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, etc.PSYCHOTROPIC/PHARMOLOGICAL/PROCEDURE Management- The use of medications for opioid use disorder, or alcohol abuse disorder, stimulant use disorder, or co-occurring use disorders is critical as a bridge (short term and on occasion long term) to recovery and adherence to the other facets of clinical interventions inclusive of SACOT and SAIOP. In addition, procedures like acicular acupuncture can be incorporated into care. SACOT- ASAM 2.5 minimum 5 days a week of care, preferably 6 (FREQUENCY) with minimum of 4 hours a day, taper up if needed to 6 hours daily (DURATION)- minimum of 20 hours of care a week, preferably 25 -30 which is standard with commercial payers THIS IS A PARTIAL HOSPITLIZATION MODEL. Anticipated LOS is 60 to 120 days per clinical coverage guidelinesSAIOP-ASAM 2.1 minimum 3 days a week of care, preferably 4-5 initially (FREQUENCY), with a minimum of 3 hours a day, preferably 4 hours daily initially (DURATION)- minimum 9 hours a week, preferably 12-15 hours up to 19 per week, with no more than 48 hours between episodes/events of care- Anticipated LOS is 30-90 days per clinical coverage guidelines Recommended schedule of care to assure duration, frequency and milieu are adequately provided The below structured schedule allows for the services to be more clients driven as opposed to program driven, i.e., more flexibility on delivering care to the client - allowing for both frequency and duration along with achieving specific objectives to be the measures of success as opposed to completing a program. The structure (bones) of the program included a:
    • Monday - Friday schedule eventually Saturdays as well
    • 6 hours a day of services plus lunch i.e., 10-4pm and an evening IOP 6-9
    • Each service/even was broken into one-hour segments
    • Two services running concurrently at a time (allowing for 20 patients to be seen)
    • Services included one therapy group- theme focused, one psych educational group - dimension focused, and one therapeutic activity group - i.e., mediation, art therapy, Rec therapy, team building (gym across street) etc. PER three-hour block
    • This model allows for SACOT/SAIOP to operate simultaneously with duration and frequency changing as client progresses in treatment. This also allows for the clients to attend at various times of the day, as long as they receive their prescribed clinical interventions EXAMPLE TREATMENT SCHEDULE DAILY10 AM
    • Therapy group
    • Psych Educational group 11 AM
    • Activity Group 1
    • Activity Group 2 12 PM
    • Therapy group

    • Psych Educational group 2:30 PM
    • Activity Group 1
    • Activity Group 2 3:30 PM

      • Care management services, appointments to DSS, etc. are services provided in addition to onsite therapeutic interventions, to assure the integrity and quality of services, and are not billed as part of the duration and frequency of outlined care. Peer Support Services as outlined in clinical coverage policy 8G can be provided to SACOT/SAIOP clients as long as services are not at the same time of day as scheduled SACOT/SAIOP intervention/events The model requires between 2.5 FTE direct care staff and a Team LEAD.
