Description
The County of Riverside is seeking proposals for Mental Health Crisis Residential Treatment Programs. The programs will provide an enriched peer-to-peer community-based alternative to hospitalization based on the Recovery Model of values and principles for adults experiencing acute psychiatric episodes with or without co-occurring disorders. The services will be provided for a maximum of 16 residential beds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The primary goal of the program is to stabilize consumers in acute crises in order to eliminate or shorten the need for inpatient hospitalization.
• The program will be designed to serve adult residents of Riverside County (ages 18-59) who are referred by Riverside University Health System - Behavioral Health.
• The program will provide assessment, community functioning evaluation, mental health counseling, peer support, treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders, and successful linkages to community support services.
• The program will be based on the Recovery Model of care, focusing on consumer empowerment, symptom reduction, and reduction of barriers to self-sufficiency in the community.
• The program will aim to improve the quality of life for consumers through strong family/support person participation in the recovery plan and by instilling hope for long-term recovery.
