Intensive Residential Treatment (IRT) Team

The Intensive Residential Treatment (IRT) program is an intensive discharge wraparound service for individuals who have either been discharged from state hospitals or who are at risk for psychiatric inpatient hospitalization. These individuals have been placed for residency in Aging and Long-Term Services Agency funded homes (e.g., adult family homes). The goal of the program is to assist in reintegrating into the community with a focus on recovery and wellness, reduce re-hospitalization due to mental health challenges, support residential home staff, and provide education around appropriate use of community resources. This is a long-term, community-based outpatient program and is able to serve the client as long as they are in need of services.
