Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Vermont Department of Health (VDH), Division of Substance Use Programs (DSU) is pleased to announce a grant opportunity. VDH/DSU is seeking applications from qualified vendors for the purpose of expanding capacity of American Society for Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level 3.2-WM: Clinically Managed Residential Withdrawal Management (WM), sometimes referred to as ‘social setting detoxification’, or ‘social detox’. Level 3.2-WM is an organized service that may be delivered by appropriately trained staff, who provide 24-hour supervision, observation, and support for individuals who are intoxicated or experiencing withdrawal. This level is characterized by daily clinical services and social support rather than medical and nursing care. This level provides care for patients whose intoxication/withdrawal signs and symptoms are sufficiently severe to require 24-hour clinical structure and support when medical treatment for detoxification is not necessary and rely on established clinical protocols to identify patients who need medical services beyond the capacity of the program and to transfer such patients to more appropriate levels of care.
