Care levels at Stoughton Health Geriatric Psychiatry Inpatient Program

The facility offers a continuum of care across multiple levels — Inpatient, MAT, Dual Dx — which means it can, in principle, hold a patient across the arc of a typical treatment episode. The practical question is whether it is genuinely strong at each level, or whether one level is the core business and the others are secondary. ASAM Criteria 4e is the benchmark framework for matching patients to appropriate intensity. Most major payer medical-necessity documents reference it. An outside ASAM-aligned assessment, prior to admission, is the protection against misplacement.
