The contract shall include a repayment plan for any subsidized rent, and the laboratory or certified outpatient treatment program shall make a good faith effort to collect the debt. The offer for housing shall not depend on the individual’s agreement to receive services from either the laboratory or the certified outpatient treatment program.

(1) An alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facility and the individual enter into a written contract for housing that is separate from the contract for treatment, if the individual also pursues outpatient treatment.

(2) The contract described in paragraph (1) includes a repayment plan for any subsidized rent, and the alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facility makes a good faith effort to collect the debt.

(3) The offer for housing is not dependent upon the individual’s agreement to attend outpatient treatment at a program that is owned or operated by the alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facility.

(c) An alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facility licensed under this part shall only offer transportation services to an individual who is seeking recovery or treatment services if all of the following conditions are met:
