Intensive In-Home Services

Intensive In-Home Services are for children and adolescents under age 21. These services provide intensive, time-limited interventions typically, but not solely, in the residence of a child who is at risk of being moved into an out-of-home placement or who is being transitioned to home from out-of-home placement due to a documented medical need of the child.



Intensive In-Home Services provide:

• Crisis treatment,
• Consumer and family counseling,
• Communication skills,
• Case management activities,
• Coordination with other required services,
• 24-Hour emergency response.

Consumers of Intensive In-Home (IIH) Services must have the functional capability to understand and benefit from the required activities and counseling of this service.



These services are rehabilitative and are intended to improve the consumer’s functioning. It is unlikely that consumers with severe cognitive and developmental delays or impairments would clinically benefit and meet the service eligibility criteria.



Consumers must demonstrate a clinical necessity arising from a severe condition due to behavioral, or emotional illness that results in significant functional impairments in major life activities.
