LICENSED RESIDENTIAL
Licensed residential encompasses a variety of levels of care, including:
|
Secure Residential Treatment Facilities (SRTFs) are state licensed, community-based, locked facilities that restrict a residents exit from the facility or its grounds through the use of approved locking devices on resident exit doors, gates or other closures for the purpose of protecting the public. This level of care may be prescribed for clinical purposes and for the protection of the residents living there. SRTFs may serve those under the jurisdiction of the Psychiatric Security Review Board, civilly committed clients who are stepping-down from the state hospital, and occasionally those who are voluntarily seeking and in need of this level of care and do not need to be committed to state hospitalization, or any combination thereof. Each SRTF is specifically designed, constructed and staffed based on the population served.

Residential Treatment Facilities (RTFs) are state licensed, non-locked, community-based facilities with a service capacity for 6 or more adults with mental illness. RTFs may serve those under the jurisdiction of the Psychiatric Security Review Board, civilly committed clients stepping down from the state hospital, or any combination thereof. Each RTF is specifically designed (or modified), constructed and staffed based on the population served.
Residential Treatment Homes (RTHs) are state licensed, non-locked, community-based homes with a service capacity of 5 or less adults with mental illness. RTHs may serve those under the jurisdiction of the Psychiatric Security Review Board, civilly committed clients stepping down from the state hospital, or any combination thereof. Each RTH is specifically designed (or modified), constructed and staffed based on the population served.
Short-Term Crisis Resolution Centers (CRCs) are state licensed, locked or non-locked community-based facilities with a service capacity for 6 or more adults with mental illness. CRCs are an important link in the continuity of care between long term hospitalization and completely independent living. They can serve as a less restrictive and more clinically appropriate treatment option for persons who are in psychiatric crisis but who do not need the medical capabilities of an acute care hospital, and can also result in significant cost savings.
Specific licensed programs may also offer specialty services to serve the specific or exceptional needs of a certain client population. Examples would be:
