In this section, "medically managed inpatient treatment service" means an inpatient substance use treatment service delivered under the oversight of a medical director in a hospital setting, and includes 24-hour nursing care, physician management, and the availability of sufficient resources to respond to an acute medical or behavioral health emergency. A medically managed inpatient treatment service is appropriate for patients whose acute biomedical, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems are so severe that they require primary medical and nursing care. Services delivered in this setting may include screening, assessment, intake, evaluation and diagnosis, medical care, observation and monitoring, physical examination, medication management, nursing services, case management, drug testing, counseling, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, psychoeducation, peer support services, recovery coaching, and recovery support services, to ameliorate acute behavioral health symptoms and stabilize functioning. Medically managed inpatient treatment services address patient needs for mental health, psychiatric, or medical services through integrated cooccurring treatment.
