Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Last Action: August 6, 2019, Item 4(s), Approval of BOS Agreement No. 19-202.
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, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), 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.
California Psychiatric Transitions (CPT) is one of the few residential care facilities able to provide services to Mendocino County clients. CPT is a mental health rehabilitation facility located in Delhi, California. CPT provides psychological rehabilitation programs in a secure residential setting and in a nonresidential/transitional unlocked setting to help transition clients to lower levels of care. The services include, but are not limited to: classes to residents in self-help skills, behavioral intervention, interpersonal relationships, and prevocational preparations; pre-release planning; and out-of-home placement. This Amendment provides additional funding to cover increased diversion level 1 and level 2 rates, and to ensure mandated residential mental health treatment for clients recently placed in the facility for fiscal year 2019-20.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
