Outpatient Plus (OPT Plus) is a combination of therapy services, monitoring, support, and management of care interventions to be provided for individuals with complex clinical needs that traditional outpatient cannot adequately address. This services can be provided to children and their families as well as adults.
OPT Plus is a home and community-based treatment service focused on decreasing psychiatric and behavioral symptoms in order to reduce the need for higher levels of care or increase the likelihood of a successful transition to Outpatient Therapy from higher levels of care. OPT Plus will improve the beneficiary’s ability to navigate systems and improve functioning in familial, social, educational, or occupational life domains.
OPT Plus is designed to:
- Reduce psychiatric or substance use disorder symptoms and promote symptom stability and recovery;
- Assist the beneficiary with transition to a community setting and to navigate the skills to live independently in the community;
- Prevent the need for enhanced services or provide a step down from enhanced services; and
- Ensure linkage to community services and resources.
We currently serve Gaston, Cleveland, Lincoln, Iredell, Catawba, Burke, Rutherford, Yadkin, and Surry counties.
