BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
This contract allows the Behavioral Health Department the utilization of Short Term Crisis Residential Programs at Interim, Inc. on an as needed basis. The Interim organization is well known throughout Monterey County and the central coast. Their experience in facility operation throughout the area span a spectrum of levels of care. Facilities operated by the Interim organization serve clients requiring short term crisis residential care structured with support for daily living skills, personal hygiene, individual counseling, group counseling, medication support and rehabilitation groups.
