4. The five levels of care are:
• Level 0.5 Early Intervention
• Level I Outpatient Services
• Level II Intensive Outpatient/Partial Hospitalization
• Level III Residential/Inpatient Treatment
• Level IV Medically Managed Intensive Inpatient Services
Level III residential/impatient treatment provides safe, round-the-clock medical care for patients with less complex health concerns. More intensive care is available for patients with complex health conditions in Level IV treatment centers, which offer medically managed, intensive inpatient services. Daily outpatient care is available through lower level treatment centers. Referral to a halfway house may be provided at any level when the patient completes the detoxification process.
