Services used in coordinated outpatient care
Available services include individual therapy, medication management, drug testing and monitoring, case management, family support, clinical and medical assessments, medical oversight, and care coordination. Which services are used depends on the participant’s assessed needs and outpatient plan.
- Your assessed needs guide which services support your plan
- Referrals help when needs fall outside outpatient care
Case management can support practical parts of participation. Family support offers a way to involve appropriate family members in the care process. Medication management and medical oversight may be included when relevant to the plan. Drug testing and monitoring are also among the available services.
Care coordination and referrals are important when a need falls outside the center’s scope. If one of those settings is needed, the appropriate next step is not admission to an outpatient program.
