Continued stay criteria

For a client to remain in the current level of care placement, a program must document that the client: 1. Is making progress but has not yet achieved the goals articulated in the individualized treatment plan and continued treatment at the present level of care is necessary to permit the client to continue to work toward treatment goals. 2. Is not yet making progress but has the capacity to resolve problems and is actively working toward the goals articulated in the individual treatment plan. 3. New problems have been identified that are appropriately treated at the present level of care that is the least intensive in which these problems can be addressed effectively.
