By when must Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse screens be completed?

The requirement to complete Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse screens within seven days is based on the need for timely assessments in order to ensure that individuals at risk receive the necessary support and intervention. This timeframe allows for the identification of any immediate safety concerns related to domestic violence and the assessment of substance abuse issues while they are still fresh in the participants' lives. Prompt screenings help ensure that appropriate measures can be taken quickly, facilitating timely referrals to services or support systems that can address these critical issues. Meeting this requirement within seven days reflects best practices in effective case management and ensures that individuals and families are supported as early as possible in the intervention process.
