Brief Description: Centerstone's Intensive In-Home Treatment services help keep children and their families together by providing individual and family counseling in the home or community to help stabilize and decrease the youth's disruptive behaviors and prevent possible placement in hospital, residential treatment or State’s custody. This enables parents to take back control of their home and regain their child's respect and cooperation. Treatment typically lasts 60-90 days, more if needed. Because treatment is intensive, families will receive an average of 2 to 3 sessions weekly, and in-home therapists are available 24/7 to respond to crises. Other services that may be provided include behavior management, parenting training, communication, relationship-building and school interventions. Services are covered by TennCare. Self-pay is also an option.
