Services
Rehabilitative mental health services that
enable the individual to develop and enhance psychiatric stability,
social competencies, personal and emotional adjustment, and
independant living and community skills, when these abilities
are impaired by the symptoms of mental illness. ARMHS are
also appropriate when provided to enable an individual to
retain stability and functioning, if the individual would
be at risk of significant functional decompensation or more
restrictive service settings without these services. ARHMS
consist of these components: basic living and social skills;
community intervention; and medication education.
