Observations
Based on a review of administrative and personnel documentation it was determined that the facility failed to provide documentation that would support the project director's qualifications to meet the required standards. The project director does meet the experiential requirements, however her Bachelor's degree is not in chemical dependency, psychology, social work, counseling, nursing (with a specialty in nursing/health administration, nursing/counseling education or a clinical specialty in the human services), public administration, business management or other related field.
