The youth receiving Intensive In-home services must be at risk of out-of-home placement or transitioning to the home from out-of-home placement due to a clinical need.

The youth must meet one of the following eligibility criteria:

• services more intensive than outpatient clinic are required to stabilize the youth in the family situation; or

• services provided in the residence of the youth more likely to be successful than services in a clinical setting.

The youth must also meet one of the following eligibility criteria on a continuing or intermittent basis:

• has difficulty in establishing or maintaining normal interpersonal relationships to such a degree that he/she is at-risk of hospitalization or out-of-home placement because of conflicts with family or community;
• exhibits such inappropriate behavior that repeated interventions by mental health, social services or judicial system are necessary; or
• Services are not appropriate for a family while the youth is absent from the home unless there is an active Individual Service Plan indicating that Intensive In-home services are needed to transition the youth from an out-of-home placement. 

  All of the following conditions must be met:

  • Services more intensive than outpatient clinic care are required;
  • the youth and responsible parent/guardian are in agreement to participate in the transition; and
  • the youth and responsible parent/guardian are available to receive direct and indirect services.

  Services may be provided for 26 weeks per fiscal year unless additional services are needed.

   

UNIQUE SERVICE STRATEGIES FOR UNIQUE CLIENT NEEDS

Collaborative. We pledge to involve the child, parents, and other key influencers in each phase of the treatment planning and implementation.  We will do this, not as a required task, but as a welcomed partnership that is vital to arriving at effective outcomes.

Appropriate. We will honor and respect the cultural and environmental aspects of each family unit. Our treatment plans will be technically sound but sensibly flexible to address expected and unexpected situations.
 
Responsible. We will approach our in-person interactions and administrative processing with equal degrees of preparation and dedication. We will adhere to the highest principles of professionalism and follow-through with tasks big and small.

Evaluative. We commit ourselves to continuous improvement in every aspect of our operation, with special emphasis on monitoring the success outcomes of each client.
