Crisis Stabilization Services

The provider of Crisis Stabilization Services, together with the recipient, develops a Crisis Stabilization Treatment Plan. To meet Medicaid guidelines, the treatment plan must include:

1. A list of problems identified in the crisis assessment.
2. A list of the recipient’s strengths and resources.
3. Concrete, measurable short-term goals and tasks to be achieved, including timeframes for achievement.
4. Specific objectives directed toward the achievement of each one of the goals.
5. Documentation of the participants involved in the service planning. The recipient, if possible must be a participant. The recipient or the recipient’s legal guardian must sign the service plan, or documentation must be provided why this was not possible. A copy of the plan must be given to the recipient and the recipient’s legal guardian. The plan should include services arranged including specific providers where applicable.
6. Planned frequency and type of services initiated.
7. A crisis response action plan-if a crisis should occur.
8. Clear progress notes on outcome of goals.
