Which level includes Clinically Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services?

Clinically Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services fall under Level 3.1 of the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria. This level is tailored for individuals who may not require intensive 24-hour supervision but still need support in a structured environment. These services often provide a balance of clinical and non-clinical support, allowing individuals to engage in activities and therapies necessary for their recovery while residing in a more independent setting.

Low-Intensity Residential Services typically offer a less intensive clinical approach compared to higher levels of care, focusing on maintaining sobriety and promoting healthy living in a managed residential setting. It is essential for these programs to offer a therapeutic community where residents can interact and support one another, which is a key component of successful recovery.

The distinction between the various levels is based on the intensity and complexity of care required, which is crucial for proper treatment planning and resource allocation.
