What level of care is known as Clinically Managed Medium-Intensity Residential Services for adolescents and Clinically Managed High-Intensity Residential Services for adults?

The designation of Clinically Managed Medium-Intensity Residential Services for adolescents and Clinically Managed High-Intensity Residential Services for adults corresponds to ASAM Level 3.5. This level of care is specifically structured to provide organized inpatient treatment for individuals requiring a moderate to high level of care but who do not require 24-hour medical supervision.

ASAM Level 3.5 is characterized by a structured environment that addresses the needs of individuals who benefit from non-intensive, medically supervised support in a residential setting. It is designed for those who may need a more supportive atmosphere but whose conditions are not severe enough to necessitate a higher intensity of care, such as those provided at Level 4.

Understanding this classification is vital in ensuring appropriate treatment placements, allowing both adolescents and adults to receive suitable interventions that match their clinical requirements while supporting their recovery journey effectively.
