What happens if a consumer regresses while in services?
A-If the consumer is receiving a service that is not meeting his needs and his functioning begins to deteriorate, a higher level of care may be necessary. Likewise, if the consumer is improving significantly, it may be appropriate to begin reducing use of the current service or to move to a less restrictive or less intensive level of care. The treatment team should get back together any time there is significant change or no improvement over time in order to re-assess the consumer s needs and goals and develop a new plan of care.
