Mental Health Treatment
Youth who have a serious emotional disturbance severe enough to cause disruptions in any area of their lives are provided care through our Mental Health Treatment Line. The normal progression of these types of issues creates enormous struggles for the entire family; therefore our mental health services are designed in a way that treatment and support will afford relief to families. Our services are provided through traditional and nontraditional programming and vary in level of intensity from case-management to medication management by our staff of psychiatrists in our Medical Dept.

Community-Based Treatment (CBT)
Community-Based Treatment services are provided for young people with significant disturbances who require aggressive community based service delivery. Clients typically require engagement in more than one treatment or support service, which requires coordination and monitoring. CBT Service is provided in the client's natural home with a great deal of emphasis on family engagement, behavior management, crisis intervention and linkage. Although this service is provided to a wide population, we have identified specific programming needs within this program for pregnant or parenting teens.
For more information about Community-Based Treatment contact the Crittenton Building at 419.475.8681.
Home Based-Treatment (HBT)
Designed after the "Homebuilder" Program from Tacoma, Washington. Intensive Home-Based Treatment services are designed for clients who are at imminent risk of removal from their home or harming themselves or others. Services are provided by trained clinicians in the client's home and incorporate all family members. Multiple visits occur each week and service duration is typically 2-4 months. The goal of the service is to de-escalate the factors that are placing the youth at risk and establish more productive means of dealing with family stresses and client misbehavior particularly in the family's home. Success in this program is measured by the number of clients who are able to remain in their home upon service termination.

Office Based-Treatment (OBT)
Office-Based Treatment is provided at our near-downtown Business Office, 1212 Cherry Street, and west Toledo Crittenton Building, 3151 Chollett Drive. Masters level clinicians provide individual, family and group therapy for youth 17-years old and younger and their families. Eligible clients exhibit serious mental illness, substance abuse or unstable family situations. Depending on symptoms and the degree of client-risk treatment may last for 1- 6 months. Our goal is to minimize client risk of out-of-home placement or harm to self or others. Success of the service is measured by the degree of goal accomplishment as indicated on the client's Individual Service Plan.

Transitional Living and Supportive Housing Services
These programs are designed for older teens and young adults who have a mental health diagnosis and who are inadequately prepared to assume an independent life style. Specially trained and experienced staff assist clients in establishing a support network, implementing an educational or vocational plan, gaining employment, establishing safe, affordable housing and engaging in any treatment or support services necessary to assist the client in making a successful transition to independence. Residential units are available on a limited basis. Staff maintain at least weekly contact, service duration is between 6 to 12 months. Our goal is to help the client implement a manageable independent plan that allows the client the opportunity to lead a self-sufficient life style. Success is determined by the number of clients achieving treatment objectives, including employment and independent housing.
