Our Intensive Home Treatment service offers intensive community intervention for young people and families for up to 4-12 weeks. We also work closely with services outside of CAMHS that already
support the young person such as schools and social services.
For young people who are already receiving a service within Core CAMHS team but where it has been identified that more frequent interventions are needed to complement what is already being offered.
For young people who are at high risk of needing a CAMHS in-patient admission. Home treatment aims to reduce the need for admission and is described as ‘an alternative to admission’.
We know from extensive research that this provides better outcomes for young people.
When an in-patient referral is needed, the service will continue to work with the young person to help reduce the length of admission and support discharge plans.
After receiving a referral to the service one of our team members will meet with the young person and family to work together to identify what their needs are, what interventions would be helpful and
develop a personalised care plan.
