Inpatient Services
Short Term Residential Treatment Program (adult)
Located in Alachua County (Gainesville). SRT provides Residential Treatment for those persons who have required crisis in-patient care for evaluation and stabilization and are no longer in need of intensive stabilization but are not stable enough to live in a community placement or at home with family. This service particularly focuses on an inpatient stay of longer duration for those persons who might otherwise be considered for a state treatment facility. These services are provided close to home, enabling treatment and discharge planning to include the individual's support system.
Services include ongoing psychiatric treatment, medication management, individual, group, family, and/or recreational therapy as indicated by their treatment plan. The person served will be consistently involved in the discharge planning process including placement and referral for appropriate follow-up and ongoing care upon discharge.
The SRT program provides an active structured environment that promotes the development of individual skills and resources for independent living. Referrals are made from a Crisis Stabilization Unit or Inpatient Psychiatric Unit.
