 North Carolina Report on the Future Role & Capacity of Developmental
Centers
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of
Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services
has proposed the following to meet future demand for services in the
state. The developmental centers: Caswell, Murdoch, and Riddle will be
downsized, but all three will still provide Intermediate Care
Facility/Mental Retardation level of care. Each will serve a state
region. Caswell will serve the east; Murdoch will serve the central area;
and Riddle will serve the western region.
Within its region, each center will provide additional specialty
programs.
-
Caswell will provide a 10-bed Mental
Retardation/Mental Illness program for men with dual diagnoses
-
Murdoch will provide a 12-bed program for young
men with developmental disabilities and failed community placements
and/or criminal offenses; a 10-bed autism treatment and habilitation
program for children; two 4-bed group homes for children with autism; and
an 18-bed specialized treatment program for adolescents with both mental
retardation and mental illness
-
Riddle will provide a rapid response team to
consult with Broughton Hospital if individuals with a dual mental
retardation and mental illness are admitted as Broughton patients.
