•Alternatives to Hospitalization
•In a properly designed and functioning community mental
health system community
residential treatment facilities should sere the vast majority of disturbed and disturbing individuals in
need of intensive interpersonal
care who cannot be adequately treated by in-home crises intervention. Use of these small home-like
facilities in conjunction
with 24-hour mobile crises intervention will dramatically reduce the need for psychiatric beds in hospitals.
