An active treatment program is defined as the aggressive, consistent implementation of a program of specialized and generic training, treatment, health services and related services that is directed toward:A. The acquisition of the behaviors necessary for the client to function with as much self-determination and independence as possible; andB. The prevention or deceleration of regression or loss of current optimal functional status.8.404.2 CONTINUED STAY REVIEW CRITERIA: PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES Same as admission criteria unless the individual needs the help of an ICF/IID to continue to function independently because s/he has learned to depend upon the programmatic structure it provides. The fact that s/he is not yet independent, even though s/he can be, makes it appropriate for s/he to receive active treatment services directed at achieving needed and possible independence.
