Red Rock’s Case Management Program is one of the many outpatient series offered to serve adults and youth and families with mental health, behavioral, substance abuse, and co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders. Case management services are a strength based model for qualifying persons that offers quality assistance in relationship building, goal setting, assessment of needs, linkage to needed resources, advocating for individuals, and referral to appropriate level of assistance.
This service is aimed toward persons who are at risk of hospitalization, or who require assistance to gain access to needed medical, social, education and other services essential to meeting their needs and are preformed at their home site, other community location, or at a Red Rock office. The ultimate goal is to form a partnership with the client which allows each individual to reach their highest level of recovery by receiving these quality client specific and directed services to improve self-sufficiency.

This program is designed to help the client integrate into the community by helping residents gain independence, manage their illness, and learn to utilize community resources. Residents are provided the opportunity to participate in activities of daily living skills and independence. Opportunities are also provided for community, cultural, recreational and spiritual activities. Every effort is made to help the individual secure resources to enable him to live independently. Coordination with outside providers (i.e. schools, doctors, employers, and other community agencies) is maintained to assure quality of service. Community Housing provides opportunities to participate in activities that would typically be found in a home. Residents have adequate personal space for privacy and are encouraged to have their own possessions and decorations. They have daily access to nutritious meals and are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for the cooperative operation of the household. All Red Rock housing facilities meet all local and state safety ordinances. Staff is available to all tenants 24 hours a day to address any concerns. The philosophy of the program is that with support, persons with mental and/or other challenges can become stable in the community, maximize their abilities, and achieve a higher level of functioning and a better quality of life. Community based housing is available for all Red Rock clients.

Red Rock’s program philosophy is to stabilize individuals who are experiencing an emotional or psychological crisis, so that they can be treated in the least restrictive environment and quickly return to their lives and routines. When possible, the person’s natural support system is utilized to aid this process. The goal is to alleviate the crisis experienced by the individual through timely intervention. Objectives are to identify the source of crisis, and to reduce or eliminate acute symptoms of mental illness, emotional distress, or substance abuse.
Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Psychiatrists are on-call for consultation. Crisis staff are trained in Mandt/CPI, CPR, First Aid, Community Resources, and Emergency Detention Procedures.
Services include an assessment of level of acuity, crisis counseling and development of a stabilization plan. The program provides a linkage to community resources for on-going services, face to face and telephone intervention.
The expected outcome is to alleviate the crises of individuals served and to link them to appropriate resources for continuing treatment. This service is available to any person experiencing acute emotional dysfunction due to a mental/behavioral health crisis situation.
During FY09, 78% of adult crisis intervention services and 65% of youth crisis intervention services were followed up with a lower level of care within 8 days. Approximately 84% of adults and 73% of youths receiving crisis intervention service were diverted from inpatient hospitalization or crisis stabilization services.

Red Rock operates two Adult Crisis Stabilization Units in Oklahoma, one in Norman and one in Clinton. It is the philosophy of the program that stabilization services for co-occurring psychiatric and substance use crises are best provided near the person’s home and community where family and significant others are more easily involved. It is also believed that crisis situations can be an opportunity for change, growth and effective treatment for the individual.
Crisis stabilization consists of emergency psychiatric and substance abuse services for the resolution of crisis situations provided in a behavioral health care setting. The program is designed to provide acute psychiatric crisis stabilization, including medically supervised detoxification service to persons 18 years or older who are either admitted voluntarily or involuntarily (under an emergency detention). Services are considered “integrated” when the care provided is to a person with a mental health and substance abuse diagnosis (Co-occurring). The Crisis Unit is staffed daily by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including a psychiatrist, registered nurses, master’s level licensed staff, bachelor’s level staff, and mental health techs. Crisis stabilization services will include a safe, secure environment, medication assessment, therapeutic interventions, Intervention team meetings, stabilization of the crisis, education, discharge planning and referral to the appropriate level of follow-up service. The average length of stay is 3-5 days.
These services are designed and implemented to:
· Improve quality of life
· Reducing symptoms and improving functioning through medication, education and access to Red Rock continuum of care after discharge
· Returning the person to the community as soon as possible and avoiding further inpatient treatment when possible.
· Support recovery and resilience through the use of access to Recovery Support Specialists
Red Rock BHS also operates a Children’s Crisis Stabilization Unit in Oklahoma City, it is a 15 bed, locked, secure psychiatric crisis care program that operates 24 hours a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year. The program is designed to provide 24 hour, 7 days a week evaluation, crisis stabilization and social service intervention to a child in need of assistance for emotional or mental distress including those who present with co-occurring substance abuse disorders or to a child experiencing substance abuse related crises including those with co-occurring mental health disorders who do not require mental health crisis stabilization services.
The target population of individuals will range from ages of children 10 years up to age 18 years. The Children’s Crisis Stabilization Unit will have the capability of providing services to children who are either admitted voluntarily or involuntarily. Crisis stabilization services will be provided in the least restrictive setting possible, when other community resources have been determined to be inadequate to meet the current psychiatric needs of the child. Every effort will be made to avoid hospitalization and return the child to his/her home.
The Crisis Unit is staffed daily by a co-occurring disorder capable multidisciplinary team of professionals, including a child psychiatrist, registered nurses, master’s level licensed staff, bachelor’s level staff, and mental health techs adequate in number to meet the clinical needs of the individuals served.
Crisis stabilization services will provide a safe, warm, welcoming, culturally, age appropriate and secure environment with medication assessment, individual, family and group therapy, education, and therapeutic recreation. Following assessment, an individualized crisis plan will be developed, utilizing strengths and abilities, needs and preferences, natural supports and community resources. Discharge planning will begin at the onset of services and are continuously evaluated to ensure a continuity of care and minimize the likelihood of re-admission. Linkage services will be provided to communicate and coordinate with other service providers to assure appropriate referrals to the appropriate level of follow up services are made. Referral to Outpatient services will be the primary course of action for children meeting criteria for such services. The expected length of stay is decided on an individual basis but would not exceed 7 days.
