Will the Article 28 Hospital’s OASAS operating certificate discretely line out the three types of hospital detoxification services: Observation, Medically Managed and Medically Supervised?
No, the OASAS operating certificate and associated cover letter will specifically designate the hospital as a Medically Managed Withdrawal and Stabilization Services provider. The observation period and Medically Supervised Withdrawal services are among the medical services required of a certified Medically Managed Withdrawal and Stabilization Services Provider. Additionally, certification as a Medically Managed Withdrawal and Stabilization Services provider, requires that the provider also provide inpatient Observation / Medically Supervised Withdrawal and Stabilization services.
