Transitional Services
Based on the assessment information and recommendations,
detailed planning will occur to connect the adolescent
with the next level of care or networked supports
decided upon and prepare him to successfully
transition.
Goal-Based Services are appropriate for adolescents who must master specific objectives in order to transition successfully back to their community.
- Relatively “short” placement period.
- Residential placement is initiated on the basis of specific needs demonstrated by the adolescent and family.
- Goals are developed based on the needs.
- Achievement of those goals is the criteria for discharge.
- High to moderate support will be required in the community to maintain and promote progress.
Developmental Program
The adolescent progresses through the developmental program until demonstrating specific outcomes indicative of the goal achievement set at admission.
Family Services
Work with the family begins upon admission and continues
throughout placement as an integral part of treatment.
Transitional Services
Discharge planning begins at the time of admission. The agreed upon plan includes specific transitional activities required for continued success after discharge.
General Services
