Ch. HFS 75 - Standards for community substance abuse services.
Summarv of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
About 15% of the 819 Department-certified community substance abuse services (programs) are private, for-profit, and most of those approximately 130 services are small businesses as “small business" is defined in ss. 227.114(1) (a), Stats. Within the community substance abuse prevention and treatment system, they operate mainly outpatient treatment services and day treatment services.
The changes specified in this rulemaking order will require services to have staff who are trained in how to apply WI-UPO, ASAM or another Department-approved set of similar placement criteria. The Department has been providing free training in how to apply WI-UPO. The rule changes will also require clinical supervision of counselor staff by certified clinical supervisors or persons who are in the process of becoming certified, or by a physician, psychologist or certified independent clinical social worker.
The Department received no public hearing comments from small businesses that asked for relief from these rules. Nonetheless, in response to public hearing comments, the Department made several changes in the rules to give services more flexibility, for instance, in what must be evaluated.
