Right now I'm translating a huge document about "contención" in another health context, and the word is a translation of the program's subject in English, which is 'containment'. I'm not sure it applies in your case, but it seems better than anything else that comes to mind.

31 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): -1 restraint; access restrictions
Explanation:
It may not refer to actually having someone restrained, but to limit their access to specific areas. For example, in many hospitals a patient with a broken arm will be able to move more freely than someone with an infection; in many rehab centers, people with single-drug problems are treated differently and may be housed in different areas than those with multi-drug problems. I assume the rest of the text will clarify which of the two is the appropriate choice.

1 hr confidence:
14 hrs confidence: intervention
Explanation:
'Intervention' is the term of choice in the U.S. "rehab" market for occasions when personnel actively interfere with a person's contact with the target substance, person, activity, etc.
The immediately-adjacent text should confirm whether this is the proper interpretation in your source phrase.
