Referral / Admission

• Admission criteria
  • Potential patients must meet the stated criteria in order to be admitted for addiction treatment services. 1. Patient must be at least 18 years of age. 2. Current use of opiates or alcohol. Current is defined as use within 30 days prior to proposed admission date. This requirement may be waived if patient: a) Is currently pregnant b) Is being transferred/referred from another addiction treatment program c) Has recently been released from the hospital (last 30 days) d) Has recently been released from incarceration (last 30 days) e) Is a patient who was recently discharged from services and is at risk of relapse (last 30 days) f) Is only seeking treatment with naltrexone/Vivitrol due to concern about relapsing. Admission and treatment with naltrexone/Vivitrol can be provided as a means to avoid/minimize risk of relapse to alcohol or opiates. Buprenorphine cannot be provided unless there is current use of opiates. 3. Patient must meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria for opiate dependence (treatment with buprenorphine or naltrexone/Vivitrol) or alcohol dependence (treatment with naltrexone/Vivitrol) or equivalent diagnosis per updated versions of the DSM. 4. Patient must meet the criteria for office-based opiate treatment (OBOT). 5. Patient must be medically and psychiatrically stable enough to fully participate in outpatient treatment.

Patient must be willing to give written consent for SelfRefind to communicate with and obtain any necessary medical records from other treatment providers. 8. Patients will not be denied admission solely due to their use psychotropic medications. A patient may be denied admission to the treatment program due to: 1. Exhibiting bizarre or violent behavior or ideation, or acute psychosis such that the person is dangerous to himself and/or others and who would be better treated in a higher level of care. 2. Current suicidal or homicidal ideation/plan that requires intervention in a higher level of care. 3.
