SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

The goal of the program is to reduce inappropriate behavioral and/or psychiatric symptoms to a level of care whereby the youth can return home or move to a lower level of care. Services include day treatment rehabilitative, medication support, case management, and therapeutic behavioral services as required by the treatment plan. Amendment No. 1 will add individual therapy, collateral, assessment, and plan development services to enhance client care.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2011-2015 strategic plan initiative: 3) Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 7) Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provisions of health care when otherwise unavailable.
