Day Treatment Program
Day Treatment services are provided to children/adolescent’s whose behaviors are severe enough that it is making it difficult for them to function in a typical academic setting in their community school. The service is provided in a separate classroom or building, and is structured to improve the individuals behavioral and coping skills so that they can return to their community school.
Primary populations served are children and/or adolescents, age 6 through 18, with a mental health diagnosis and who meet the criteria for admittance.
• The referred child must have an Axis I or II MH/SA diagnosis that is not
solely a developmental disability,
• Less restrictive MH/SA rehabilitative services in the educational setting
have been considered or previously attempted but were found not
effective or ineffective,
• The child exhibits behavior resulting in significant school disruption or
significant social withdrawal, and
• The child is experiencing mental health and/or substance abuse
symptoms/behaviors that severely impair functional ability in an
educational setting which may include vocational setting.
This service is designed to serve children who, as a result of their mental health and/or substance abuse treatment needs, are unable to benefit from participation in academic or vocational services at a developmentally appropriate level in a traditional school or work setting.
Eligibility for the Day treatment program:
• Individuals who are a part of Cabarrus Co. and Yadkin Co. School district.
