Crisis stabilization programs Clause Samples

Crisis stabilization programs. A. Crisis stabilization programs offer a short-term alternative to institutionalization or hospitalization for individuals who need inpatient stabilization services. B. Crisis stabilization programs shall be used as a last resort. The State shall ensure that, prior to transferring an individual to a crisis stabilization program, the mobile crisis team, in collaboration with the provider, has first attempted to resolve the crisis to avoid an out-of-home placement and if that is not possible, has then attempted to locate another community- based placement that could serve as a short-term placement. C. If an individual receives crisis stabilization services in a community-based placement instead of a crisis stabilization unit, the individual may be given the option of remaining in the placement if the provider is willing and has capacity to serve the individual and the provider can meet the needs of the individual as determined by the provider and the individual’s case manager. D. Crisis stabilization programs shall have no more than six beds and lengths of stay shall not exceed 30 days. E. With the exception of the Pathways Program operated at Southwestern Virginia Training Center (“SWVTC”), crisis stabilization programs shall not be located on the grounds of the Training Centers or hospitals with inpatient psychiatric beds. By July 1, 2015, the Pathways Program at SWVTC will cease providing crisis stabilization services and shall be replaced by off-site crisis stabilization programs with sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the target population in that Region. F. By June 30, 2012, the Commonwealth shall develop one crisis stabilization program in each Region. G. By June 30, 2013, the Commonwealth shall develop an additional crisis stabilization program in each Region as determined necessary by the Commonwealth to meet the needs of the target population in that Region.
