What is the difference between Intensive Family Intervention (IFI) and traditional ongoing services?
Intensive Family Intervention consists of a team approach. The team consists of fully Licensed Therapists and three to four additional Paraprofessionals. The goal of IFI is to provide intensive outpatient community based treatment from a holistic perspective with the child or adolescent being the identified client. The client and family are stabilized to decrease the risk of out of home placement. Services are authorized for a period of 90 days. If there are new issues that occur, causing severe emotional and mental regression or the client is waiting for residential placement, IFI can be reauthorized for an additional 90 days. Ongoing services consist of traditional individual and family therapy, community support intervention and crisis intervention. Clients transitioning from IFI who are stabilized will be referred to ongoing services as a lower level of care.
