ASAM Level 3.3
Clinically managed high-intensity residential treatment with 24-hour structure but without medical monitoring.
Full Definition
ASAM Level 3.3 represents clinically managed high-intensity residential treatment services that provide 24-hour structured programming in a residential setting. Unlike Level 3.7 programs, Level 3.3 facilities do not provide medical monitoring or management services, focusing instead on intensive clinical programming, psychosocial interventions, and structured therapeutic activities. These programs typically serve individuals who require residential placement due to environmental factors, lack of social support, or need for intensive structure, but who do not require medical monitoring for withdrawal management or medical complications. Length of stay is generally longer than lower levels of care, often ranging from 30 to 90 days.
