Summary of Request:
Star View Behavioral Health, Inc. dba Star View Adolescent Center in Torrance, California serves highest needs adolescents in California. Star View Adolescent Center is a comprehensive mental health treatment program for young people with severe emotional challenges who cannot be treated effectively in other existing community based intensive treatment programs. Multilevel programs provided by Star View Adolescent Center combines high quality residential care and educational services with mental health treatment and rehabilitation. Integrated programs provided by Star View Adolescent Center eliminates the need to admit children in acute psychiatric crisis to a hospital where they are unknown and very well might not be able to resume their residential placement. Star View Adolescent Center treats children who have experienced severe complex trauma, or children with serious emotional challenges requiring intensive services in a secure environment. Star View Adolescent Center is a 60 bed facility that serves children ages between 12-17 years old.
Currently, there are no local facilities in Mendocino County that can provide the specialized mental health services for adolescents offered by Star View Adolescent Center. As a result, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) aims to continue its contract with Star View Adolescent Center through this proposed amendment for adolescent mental health services to qualified clients in Mendocino County. This amendment will allow BHRS to maintain mental health services for adolescents already placed at Star View Adolescent Center, where they will benefit from a range of mental health services. The overall goal is to enhance client functioning and facilitate their successful discharge or transition to a lower level of care, including community placements or reunification with families or guardians.
