What does IRTS mean in RESIDENTIAL

Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) is a type of treatment that provides a range of therapeutic interventions in a residential setting. It focuses on helping individuals with mental health issues or substance use disorders to achieve recovery and improved functioning.

IRTS programs provide comprehensive services including individualized assessments, individual and group therapy, family education and support, medication management, case management services, recreational activities, and other specialized services such as life skills training.

The length of stay can vary depending on the individual's needs and progress in treatment. In general, most people typically remain in an IRTS program for 3-9 months.

People who receive IRTS will typically live at a supervised residential facility which provides around-the-clock care or a home environment designed to support recovery goals.

Depending on the specific program, funding sources may include private insurance plans, Medicaid/Medicare, state and federal grants, or other funding sources such as self-payment or sliding scale fees.
