Summary of Request:
The Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act is the California law governing the involuntary civil commitment of individuals who, due to mental illness, pose a danger to themselves, a danger to others, or who are gravely disabled and require inpatient psychiatric care. The intent of the LPS Act was to end inappropriate lifetime commitment of people with mental illness and firmly establish their right to due process while significantly reducing state institutional expense.
Pursuant to the requirements of the LPS Act, Mendocino County is responsible for providing residential care services to LPS clients who are court-mandated to receive a specific level of care requiring a structured environment due to mental health challenges. Currently, there are no local facilities in Mendocino County that are able to provide all levels of care as mandated by the courts. In addition, there is a shortage of residential care facilities statewide, which creates competition for these placements. As a result, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) contracts with multiple residential care facilities in order to help manage the shortage, and to maintain current client placements, ensuring the most appropriate care within the largest possible placement options.
Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc. is one of a few residential care facilities able to provide a broad range of services to Mendocino County LPS clients. Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., located throughout the State of California, provides secure residential treatment programs and services for adults requiring a structured environment due to mental health challenges. Levels of care include the provision of groups, trainings, and programs to promote the recovery of clients for independent living in the community. Through the proposed Agreement, Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc. will provide these services to qualifying Mendocino County BHRS clients, with the County-goal to transfer clients to less restrictive residential settings as soon as they are able.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
