- These programs provide comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, stabilization and medication management.
- Intensive individual and family therapy is part of the weekly regimen.
- Family involvement may include seminars, parent education and family therapy.
- These are typically locked or facilities with restricted access. Many are JCAHO accredited; meaning third party reimbursement through insurance is possible.
