Ten operational floors that every level of care must meet.

July 16, 2026 Catalyst Team

These are the ten non-negotiables:

  1. ORS + SRS every session
  2. MBC on admission, weekly, at every LOC transition
  3. Person-centered treatment plans mapped to CHIME
  4. Warm handoffs at every LOC transition
  5. Recovery capital measured
  6. Alumni engagement is a service line
  7. Deliberate practice for every clinician
  8. Trauma-informed care + MI basics
  9. Documentation is a clinical act
  10. Cultural humility on every deliverable
