One-Year Outcomes Report Short Term Residential Treatment Facility Pilot Program

Magellan Health Services released outcomes of a one-year short-term residential treatment facility pilot developed by Magellan in collaboration with Lehigh and Northampton counties in Pennsylvania. The pilot, which launched in May 2009, included three local providers of residential treatment services—Warwick House, The Shawnee Academy, and the Children's Home of Reading. The pilot design featured a clinician-case manager team that simultaneously worked with residents and their families with a focus on discharge planning and building community-based supports and ongoing, community-based treatment.
