 Crisis
resolution and home treatment has become a very important
alternative to acute admission in adult general psychiatry in
recent years.
An escalating need for acute beds and the
spiralling costs of buying acute care in from the private sector
has been the major stimulus to introducing alternatives to acute
admission, especially acute intensive home treatment.
This module begins with a look at alternatives to acute
admission in adult general psychiatry. It investigates the
following questions:
- why might alternatives be necessary?
- what alternatives are possible?
- when is acute in-patient care still needed?
The module then sets out the main structures and functions of
a crisis resolution home treatment team.
