Intensive residential treatment services (IRTS) is a community-based medically monitored level of care for an adult member that uses established rehabilitative principles to promote a member’s recovery and to develop and achieve psychiatric stability, personal and emotional adjustment, self-sufficiency, and other skills that help a member transition to a more independent setting. IRTS are provided by qualified mental health staff on-site 24 hours a day. IRTS are time-limited, directed to a targeted date of discharge with specific member outcomes. IRTS are consistent with evidence-based practices.
