Section 15-8-90-03-304 - Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities
Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTF) serve emotionally disturbed children and adolescents who are not in an acute phase of illness that requires the services of a psychiatric hospital, but who need restorative residential treatment services. "Emotionally disturbed" in this context means a condition exhibiting certain characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree. The criteria and standards section of this chapter describes these facilities more fully. Table 3-3 shows facilities are in operation with a total of 314 PRTF beds. Map 3-3 presents the location of the private psychiatric residential treatment facilities throughout the state. Children and adolescents who need psychiatric residential treatment beyond the scope of these residential treatment centers are served in acute psychiatric facilities or sent out of the state to other residential treatment facilities.
