This Indiana regulation establishes certification and operating standards for residential living facilities serving individuals with psychiatric disorders or addictions, administered by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction. It covers five facility types: sub-acute stabilization facilities, supervised group living facilities, transitional residential facilities, semi-independent living facilities, and alternative family for adults programs. Operators must comply with requirements governing admissions, resident rights, finances, health and treatment planning, medication management, nutrition, and physical environment. The regulation explicitly excludes facilities already licensed under other categories such as health facilities, county homes, or residential child care establishments.
