What is the ¹ú²ú³ÉÈ˾«Æ·°×½¬¾Ã¾Ã69 Criteria^®

The ¹ú²ú³ÉÈ˾«Æ·°×½¬¾Ã¾Ã69 Criteria defines the standards for conducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment to inform patient placement and treatment planning. These standards describe six dimensions that should be assessed, including:

1. Acute intoxication and/or withdrawal potential
2. Biomedical conditions and complications
3. Emotional, behavioral, and cognitive conditions and complications
4. Readiness to change
5. Relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential
6. Recovery/living environment

The ¹ú²ú³ÉÈ˾«Æ·°×½¬¾Ã¾Ã69 Criteria also provides standards for rating the patient’s risks in each dimension and dimensional admission criteria for determining the least intensive, but safe level of care for meeting the patient’s individual treatment needs.
