Agencies that meet certain criteria can be designated as providing treatment that can lead to the rehabilitation of an individual experiencing alcohol and substance abuse issues. 12. Each drug and/or alcohol treatment and rehabilitation center will be asked to provide the county with a certified list of currently participating residents signed by the center director. a. The county office will require the listing on a monthly basis. b. The treatment center’s monthly report must contain the following information: i. the name of each resident/recipient; ii. the date of arrival at the center of each resident/recipient; iii. the date of departure from the center of each resident/recipient (if applicable); iv. the date of return of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, and/or benefits to departing resident/recipients or to the local certification office (if applicable); v. the date changes were reported to the local certification office; and statement of justification if the number of residents/recipients exceeds the center’s reported capacity. 13.
