Our Process
Screening
Youth participating in the JJBH Program are identified through the screening and assessment tools utilized in the court process. YLS/CMI, NC NCAR and NCAN screening tool results, the Comprehensive Clinical Assessment, and other behavioral and substance use screening and assessment information shared between systems is utilized to identify the youth participating in the JJBH Program. Additional screening and assessment are completed as recommended by the MDT to appropriately identify the youth's needs and to establish baseline measurements to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Assessment
The Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) completes a comprehensive assessment of the youth's treatment areas along with a Care Plan outlining interventions for each targeted need. All services are individualized based on each youth.
Treatment
Treatment services may include: Enhanced Services, such as Psychosocial Rehabilitation or SA Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment, Outpatient Services (SA or MH), Psychiatric Evaluation and Medication Management, Family Therapy, Intensive In-Home Services, and Multisystemic Therapy.
