Mental Health Rehabilitation Services
The Department of Mental Health's overriding goal is to deliver mental health services that promote a patient's full recovery, respect cultural and linguistic diversity, and are choice-driven. To achieve these goals, the department completely transformed its service delivery system. The new Mental Health Rehabilitation Services (MHRS) system for community-based care gives children, youths, and their families the same access to services as adults. Additionally, every consumer will have a recovery-oriented treatment plan that is developed with respect for the consumer's choices.
The MHRS system is based on individual services and supports that meet standards set for quality, accessibility, timeliness, accountability, cost, and location. The services include diagnostic/assessment services, medication, counseling, intensive day treatment, crisis/emergency services, and specialized services for adults and children. Supports include rehabilitation programs, residential and housing assistance, peer supports, and family/home-based alternatives to facility-based care. Fees for services are determined on a sliding scale basis. No one will be turned away because of inability to pay for service.
