Mental Illness Adult In-Home Services

Southwest provides In-Home Intervention services for adult consumers in Escambia, Conecuh, Monroe and Clarke Counties.  In-Home intervention provides time limited, home based services provided by a treatment team (two person team, one master's level mental health professional or Registered Nurse and one bachelor's degree) to defuse an immedicate crisis situation, stabilize the family unit, and prevent out of home placement of the consumer.  The goal of in-home intervention is to stabilize crisis situations, to avoid and prevent psychiatric hospitalizations, and to increase compliance with mental health services.  Additional goals are to improve functioning, facilitate recovery, achieve personal life goals, regain self-worth, optimize illness management, and help consumers become productive participants in family and community life.
