Friday, April 5, 2024
1:15 PM – 2:30 PM  
Medically monitored residential care fills a critical gap in the SUD continuum of care, providing residential services to people with complex medical and psychiatric conditions. This interactive workshop will review the development of a 3.7R program, from initial vision to payer negotiations to program implementation and expansion. We will discuss lessons learned and provide resources including admissions criteria, case management tools and documentation templates. We will review common challenges to developing 3.7R care and how to overcome them.

Learning Objectives:

Learners will be able to:
  • Describe the critical need for 3.7R, medically monitored residential services in the United States and how these services fill an important gap in the SUD continuum of care
  • Identify key factors and common pitfalls in 3.7R program development, including well-defined admissions criteria, collaboration between medical and behavioral health staff, and careful attention to care transitions
  • Examine challenges to development of 3.7R programs in participant's communities and strategies to overcome these challenges, including community partnerships, outcomes drive program design and assessment of return on investment
