Corporate Compliance & Code of Conduct: Fraud, Waste, Abuse & Privacy Laws for Behavioral Health and Addiction Treatment Providers

The California Department of Social Services requires Group Home Administrators to obtain at least four (4) hours of instruction in laws, regulations, policies, and procedural standards that impact group homes’ 22 CCR § 84064.3 (a)(1).  To help meet this requirement, we have designed a course for Group Home Administrators who work at facilities that provide Behavioral Health and Addiction Treatment Services.  This up-to-date, interactive, in-person training is the ideal way to get the CEUs you need to renew your Group Home Administrator’s License.
