Crisis Intervention and Supports
Service Code Description: #
Crisis Intervention and Support is a specialized service that provides short-term care and behavior intervention to provide relief and support of the caregiver and protection for the participant or others living with the participant. This service may include the use and development of intensive behavioral intervention programs to improve the participant’s development and behavior tracking and analysis. This service is restricted to generally accepted, evidence-based, positive approaches. This service is designed to assist participants in acquiring, retaining and improving the self-help, socialization and adaptive skills necessary to reside successfully in home and community-based settings. The service may be provided to family members if they are for the benefit of the participant. The service for family members may include training and instruction about treatment regimens, including training on the use of medications, and risk management strategies to enable the family to support the participant. The participation of parent(s) of minor children is critical to the success of a behavioral intervention program. The person-centered planning team determines the extent of participation necessary to meet the participant’s needs. Crisis Intervention and Support includes mobile crisis intervention in the participant’s home, and/or community or where crisis intervention services are needed. Mobile crisis intervention means immediate therapeutic intervention on a 24-hour emergency basis to a participant exhibiting acute personal, social, and/or behavioral problems. Mobile crisis intervention provides immediate and time-limited professional assistance to a participant who is experiencing personal, social or behavioral problems which, if not ameliorated, will escalate and require that the participant be moved to a setting where additional services are available. As necessary, Crisis Intervention and Support is composed of the following participant-specific activities:
1. Assessment to determine the precipitating factors contributing to the crisis.
2. Development of an intervention plan in coordination with the planning team.
3. Consultation and staff training to the service provider as necessary to ensure successful implementation of the participant’s specific intervention plan.
4. Collection of data on behavioral strategies and submission of that data to the caregiver or provider for incorporation into progress reports.
5. Participation in any needed clinical meetings.
6. Development and implementation of a transition plan to aid the participant in returning home if out-of-home crisis intervention was provided.
7. Ongoing technical assistance to the caregiver or provider in the implementation of the intervention plan developed for the participant.
8. Provision of recommendations to prevent or minimize future crisis situations in order to increase the likelihood of maintaining the participant in the community.
