What type of services does ASAM Level 3.5 encompass?

ASAM Level 3.5 encompasses residential services with therapeutic environments. This level of care is designed for individuals who require a structured residential setting in which they can receive intensive rehabilitation services. The focus is on providing a supportive therapeutic environment that facilitates recovery through a combination of counseling, group therapy, and other therapeutic modalities.

In this setting, residents typically participate in regular therapeutic activities while also having the opportunity to engage in social and recreational activities that are conducive to recovery. The structure of the program at this level is significant; it supports individuals who may not be able to maintain sobriety in less restrictive environments, offering them the chance to address the underlying issues associated with their substance use in a safe and supportive context.

The other service levels mentioned, such as outpatient, detoxification, and medically managed services, do not accurately describe the encompassing nature of ASAM Level 3.5, which specifically focuses on residential treatment with an integrated therapeutic approach.
