DHS 36.14(1)
(1) Has a diagnosis of a mental disorder or a substance use disorder.
DHS 36.14(2)
(2) Has a functional impairment that interferes with or limits one or more major life activities and results in needs for services that are described as ongoing, comprehensive and either high-intensity or low-intensity. Determination of a qualifying functional impairment is dependent upon whether the applicant meets one of the following descriptions:
DHS 36.14(2)(a)
(a) `Group
1'. Persons in this group include children and adults in need of ongoing, high-intensity, comprehensive services who have diagnoses of a major mental disorder or substance-use disorder, and substantial needs for psychiatric, substance abuse, or addiction treatment.
DHS 36.14(2)(b)
(b) `Group 2'. Persons in this group include children and adults in need of ongoing, low-intensity comprehensive services who have a diagnosed mental or substance-use disorder. These individuals generally function in a fairly independent and stable manner but may occasionally experience acute psychiatric crises.
