24-Hour Stabilization Services

24-hour stabilization services include stabilization homes and will eventually include transition homes.

Stabilization homes are for people who are “experiencing acute behavioral health conditions” while living in the community. Without intervention, these individuals are at risk of losing their current placement and/or lack a permanent community placement. These homes are designed to provide temporary stabilization services outside of an individual’s current home with the intent to return back to their home.

Providers of stabilization homes are required to have one QIDP per home, one Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) per home, psychiatric services, and other staff (nurses and management) as needed to ensure treatment goals are met.

Referrals to 24-hour stabilization services are made to providers by the Division of Developmental Disabilities.
