Intensive In-home Services
Time-Limited Interventions for At-Risk Children & Teens
At U.S. Care, we provide intensive and time-limited in-home mental health interventions for children ages 5-20 with documented clinical needs. Our goals are to prevent children’s out-of-home placements or help children transition back from out-of-home placements. Any child or teenager that demonstrates a clinical necessity for the service is eligible. Call U.S. Care in Fairfax or Richmond today to speak with one of our licensed professionals about our Intensive In-Home Services.
Intensive In-home Service Eligibility Requirements:
- Must be between 5-20 years old.
- Must demonstrate a clinical necessity for the service arising from a severe condition due to mental, behavioral, or emotional illness resulting in significant functional impairments in major life activities. Individuals must meet at least two of the following criteria:
- Have difficulty due to mental, behavioral, or emotional illness in establishing or maintaining normal interpersonal relationships to such a degree that they are at risk of hospitalization or out-of-home placement because of conflicts.
- Exhibit inappropriate behavior due to mental, behavioral, or emotional illness that repeated intervention by the mental health, social services, or judicial system is necessary.
- Exhibit difficulty in cognitive ability due to mental, behavioral, or emotional illness such that they are unable to recognize personal danger or significantly inappropriate social behavior. For example: is at risk of acting out in such a way that will cause harm to themselves or others.
The individual is at risk of out-of-home placement due to their clinical needs, and either:
- Services that are far more intensive than outpatient clinical care are required to stabilize the individual in the family situation; or
- The individual’s residence, as far as the settings for services, is more likely to be successful than a clinic.
