An alcoholism or drug abuse recovery, treatment, or detoxification facility is defined as any facility, place or building which provides 24­hour, residential, non­medical services in a group settingto adults. For the purpose of further defining whether licensure is required, alcoholism or drugabuse recovery or treatment services mean services which are designed to promote treatment and maintain recovery from substance use disorder problems which include one or more of the following: detoxification, group sessions, individual sessions, educational sessions, and recovery ortreatment planning.

In addition, many counties require that programs under contract be SUD certified as a condition of receivingfunds.

CertificationStandards

The standards that govern certified programs covered by these instructions are within the Alcohol and Other Drug Certification Standards, and may be downloaded from the DHCS website.

Requirements for Drug Medi­Cal Certification(DMC)

CCR Title 22, offers DMC certification to programs that provide substance abuse servicesto Medi­Cal beneficiaries that are covered by the Medi­Cal program, when it is determined, by a physician, that alcohol and drug treatment is medicallynecessary.

If you intend to provide residential DMC services, you must first complete this application and be issued a residential license prior to submitting an application for DMC residentialservices.

The DMC certification requirements for substance abuse clinics are contained in the DrugMedi­Cal Certification Standards for Substance Abuse Clinics; the Alcohol and/or Other Program Certification Standards; and CCR Title 22, Sections § 51341.1, § 51490.1, and §51516.1.
