When might crisis stabilization services be needed?

When might crisis stabilization services be needed? These services are most frequently employed when the child or adolescent needs an immediate clinical intervention in the least restrictive setting to lessen the impact of mental health dysfunction. Stabilization services are sometimes used as a "step down" program for those being discharged from psychiatric facilities and returning to the community.

Goal

The goal is to develop and restore adaptive, stable functioning within the home, school, and/or community.
