Section 5310.35. Termination from program

(a) The community residential rehabilitation service (CRRS) must establish written termination criteria and procedures which must address the following two types of termination:

(1) Planned termination of services. The client, CRRS staff and, if appropriate, others responsible for the client’s welfare agree that the client should leave the program and have planned and prepared for the move.

(2) Unplanned termination of services. The client drops out, requires hospital or nursing care, or demonstrates behavior that requires immediate removal.

(b) If the planned termination is a result of the client not living up to the terms of the service agreement, the CRRS must notify the client in writing of the decision, give an exit date, the reason for termination and indicate any recourse the client has under the client grievance procedures. A copy of the notice must be sent to each case management or treatment agency, specified in the individual’s service plan.

(c) Within 2 weeks after the exit date, the CRRS must prepare a termination summary for each client terminated which must be included in the client’s record and sent to the case management or treatment agency specified in the individual’s service plan.
