Treatment needs, goals and methods are determined by an Interdisciplinary Treatment Team under the leadership/clinical direction of a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) Unit Chief and are documented in an Individualized Treatment Plan. The Individualized Treatment Plan identifies the problems, goals and objectives of treatment, as well as, treatment modalities and interventions, including time, frequency and staff responsible. Therapeutic programming and skill acquisition training is delivered by treatment team members. Under this model it is critically important that corrections custody staff and mental health professionals work closely, clinically, and operationally, to maintain the integrity of the treatment model and to assure early detection and preventive intervention to avoid serious deterioration in condition. The treatment team is the decision making body for treatment of prisoners, including decisions regarding initial admission to Mental Health Services, discharge from the mental health services program and referral to other levels of mental health care. The team chairperson/supervisor will assign case ‘managers/therapists with the responsibility to implement the treatment plan.
