PCMHS
Adult Residential Services
Program
Description
The
purpose of the of the Residential Treatment Services program is to provide
specialized non-hospital-based interdisciplinary services 24 hours a day, 7
days a week for persons with behavioral health disabilities or disorders who
are not able to live independently in the community, but do not need to be
hospitalized.
Philosophy
of the Program
The
philosophy of the Residential Treatment Program is centered on the notion that
persons served need a continuum of housing options and have a right to be in a
setting which affords them the maximum level of independence.
The program is focused on recovery.
While some consumers will initially need a high level of staff support
and guidance, this is expected to reduce as consumers develop independent
living skills and become more integrated into the community.
Goals
of the Program
To provide an alternative to long-term hospitalization and to enable persons served to maintain community tenure.
To develop the person's enhanced capacity for successful community living and thus reduce the degree of impairment, dependency, and/or psychiatric symptomatology.
To develop or restore skills necessary for community integration and living.
To develop the environmental supports necessary to promote and sustain a healthy age appropriate level of independence.
