Comprehensive Child and Family Treatment services are high-intensity, time-limited, goal-specific services designed to provide stabilization and deter the ‘imminent’ risk of State custody for the child/youth. CCFT services concentrate on child/family/guardian behaviors and interactions with the goal of reaching an appropriate point of stabilization so the individual can be transitioned to a less intensive outpatient service. CCFT services can be provided in home, community, or office-based settings using a frequency appropriate for the intensity and imminent risk presented by the clinical situation
CCFT services can include therapeutic and/or skills training interventions that support improved functioning of the child/youth and the family unit so the imminent crises are averted. Services are designed to utilize and foster individual and family strengths and utilization of community supports.
All of the following critieria are necessary for admission to this level of care:
1. The individual demonstrates symptoms consistent with a covered DSM-IV diagnosis.
2. The individual’s clinical status is serious enough to jeopardize the community placement but is not severe enough to require a more intensive level of care.
3. The individual and family voluntarily consent to treatment with these services.
4. Traditional outpatient services do not sufficiently meet the family's needs.
