Current through September 2, 2024
A treatment plan will be developed by the Department, a parent or guardian, and the child, if appropriate, and may include the service provider or service providers. This plan will be specific, measurable, and realistic in the identification of the goal(s), relevant areas of concern, and desired results.
01. Development of Treatment Plan. A treatment plan will be completed within fifteen (15) days of the date the child was determined eligible for children's mental health services. The parent or guardian must be given the opportunity to participate in the development of the treatment plan and sign it. The parent or guardian must sign the treatment plan indicating their agreement with service needs identified and their participation in its development. If these signatures, indicating participation in the development of the treatment plan are not obtained, the reason the signatures were not obtained must be documented in the record, including the reason for the parent's or guardian's refusal to sign. If the services are court-ordered and the parent or guardian refuses to sign the plan, the refusal must also be documented on the plan. If the services are voluntary and the parent or guardian refuses to sign the plan, the Department may close the case.
02. Annual Development of Treatment Plan. The Department will develop a plan at least annually. The parent or guardian will be given the opportunity to participate in the annual development of the treatment plan and to sign it.
03. One Hundred Twenty Day Review. Treatment plans are to be reviewed with the family at least once every one hundred twenty (120) days.
04. Goals and Tasks. Treatment plans must include a long-term goal that identifies specific behavior changes, have measurable desired results, and have specific tasks that identify by whom, how, and when the tasks will be completed.
