This regulation requires the governing body of a licensed substance use disorder treatment facility to adopt a written plan coordinating client treatment and rehabilitation services, including defining the target population, identifying treatment models, establishing written procedures for managing services, and outlining referral and emergency service cooperation. Facilities must also maintain a current listing of community health and social service resources. These requirements apply to facilities licensed under Chapter 709, which governs drug and alcohol treatment programs in Pennsylvania.
