Intensive In-Home Treatment Services Ages: Families with children ages 3-17
State: TN
Intensive In-Home Treatment provides high-intensity (avg. 10 hours/month), time-limited (typically 90 days or more) therapeutic services for children and adolescents at imminent risk of out-of-home placement (acute psychiatric hospitalization, residential treatment, DCS custody) due to serious emotional illness which cannot be successfully treated in less intensive settings. Services are provided in the home and community and focus on short-term stabilization, with the ultimate goal being long-term stability for the member and family. In-home specialists are available 24/7 to respond to crises. In addition to the individual and family counseling component of the program, other services that may be provided include parenting training, behavior management, communication and relationship-building, self-management of moods and behavior, and school interventions.
Eligibility: 

Children and adolescents with significant behavior or emotional problems where recovery has been unsuccessful in outpatient treatment. Referrals may be made by a mental health center, the juvenile court, the Department of Children's Services or a self-referral.
