Home and Community Based Services (HCBS)

Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR)
PSR services are designed to assist individuals with compensating for or eliminating functional deficits and interpersonal and/or environmental barriers associated with their behavioral health condition (i.e., substance use disorder and/or mental health). The intent of PSR is to restore the individual’s functional level to the fullest possible and as necessary for integrating the individual as an active and productive member of his or her family, community, and/or culture with the least amount of ongoing professional intervention.

Habilitation
Habilitation services are designed to assist individuals with a behavioral health diagnosis in acquiring, retaining and improving skills necessary to reside successfully in home and community-based settings. Examples of skills include communication, self-help, domestic, self-care, socialization, fine and gross motor skills, mobility, personal adjustment, relationship development, use of community resources and adaptive skills. These services assist individuals with developing skills necessary for community living and, if applicable, to continue the process of recovery from a substance use disorder.

Pre-vocational Services
Pre-vocational services are time-limited services that prepare an individual for paid or unpaid employment. These services specifically provide learning and work experiences where the individual with mental health and/or disabling substance use disorders can develop general, non-job-task-specific strengths and soft skills that contribute to employability in a competitive work environment as well as in the community settings.

Intensive Supported Employment (ISE)
ISE services assist recovering individuals with mental health/ substance use disorders to obtain and keep competitive employment. These services enable individuals who require support to learn and perform in a regular work setting the ability to obtain and keep competitive employment at or above the minimum wage.

Ongoing Supported Employment
These services are provided after an individual successfully obtains and becomes oriented to competitive and integrated employment. Ongoing follow-along support is available for an indefinite period as needed by the individual to maintain their paid competitive employment position.
