Outpatient Community-Based Services
Outpatient services provided in an individual's community offer the least-restrictive environment for treatment. An evaluation and treatment team provides services utilizing the resources of the individual, his/her family, and the community. Outpatient programs offer individual, group, and family therapy, medication management, etc.

Targeted Case Management
Targeted Case Management services are intended to assist individuals in gaining access to psychiatric, medical, social, and educational services and supports.

Day Treatment/Partial Hospitalization
Day treatment offers the least-restrictive care to individuals diagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder and requiring a level of care greater than outpatient services can provide, but not at a level requiring full-time inpatient services. Day treatment may include vocational education, rehabilitation services, and educational services. The focus is on developing supportive medical and psychological and social work services.

Residential Care/Community Placement
Moderate-term placement in residential care provides services to persons with non-acute conditions who cannot be served in their own homes. A residential setting has more focused goals of providing a structured living environment in which to develop functional adaptive living skills, self-esteem, self-control of impulses, social skills, insight into personal issues, and enhanced family interactions.

Inpatient (Hospitalization)
Individuals whose psychiatric needs cannot be met in the community and who require 24-hour observation and treatment are placed in inpatient treatment. These services are considered appropriate for persons who may be dangerous to themselves or others as a result of their mental disorder.

Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances or in acute crisis may receive the above-mentioned services as well as services provided through the programs listed below.

Community Psychiatric Rehabilitation (CPR)
This program is a client-centered approach that emphasizes individual choices and needs; features flexible community-based services and supports; uses existing community resources and natural support systems; and promotes independence and the pursuit of meaningful living, working, learning, and leisure-time activities in normal community settings. The program provides an array of key services to persons with severe, disabling mental illnesses. Services include evaluations, crisis intervention, community support, medication management, and psychosocial rehabilitation. Because CPRP is a Medicaid supported program, the federal government pays approximately 60 percent of the costs for clients with Medicaid eligibility.
