Guiding Principles of AQCS Service Delivery Programs:

The primary goal of AQCS's programs is to provide services in the least restrictive environment possible that will help to preserve individuals and families and stabilize the home environment by minimizing the dysfunctional behaviors that could jeopardize the individual and/or family unit.

Services and treatments are individual and family-centered to provide real and meaningful choices about their treatment options. Care must focus on increasing the person served the ability to successfully cope with life's challenges, on facilitating recovery and on building resilience, not just on managing symptoms.

Purpose

To guide in establishing a practice that effectively operationalizes and supports a "team" approach for all adult behavioral health recipients that focuses on recovery and implements plans that are outcome-based and is consistent with Georgia's Principles of Person-Centered Planning and requirements for service delivery as propagated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) or individual insurance panels based on the insurance carrier.

​

Target Population

Mental Health and Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program

Intensive Outpatient services provide at least nine hours a week consisting of group based, nonresidential, intensive, structured interventions consisting primarily of counseling and education to improve symptoms that may significantly interfere with functioning in at least one life domain (e.g., familial, social, occupational, educational, etc.). Services are goal oriented interactions with the individual or in group/family settings. This community based service allows the individual to apply skills in "real world" environments. Such treatment may be offered during the day, before or after work or school, in the evening or on a weekend.

 

The services follow a defined set of policies and procedures or clinical protocols. The service also provides a coordinated set of individualized treatment services to persons who are able to function in a school, work, and home environment but are in need of treatment services beyond traditional outpatient programs as a result of an increased frequency of services at least nine hours per week. Treatment may appropriately be used to transition persons from higher levels of care or may be provided for persons at risk of being admitted to higher levels of care. The goals, frequency, and duration of outpatient treatment will vary according to individual needs and response to treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Partial Hospitalization is a nonresidential treatment program that is clinic-based located at 1807 Honey Creek Commons SE, Conyers, Georgia 30013. The program provides diagnostic and treatment services on a level of intensity designed to stabilize and minimize the need for inpatient treatment. These services include therapeutic milieu, nursing, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, group, individual, and family therapy. The environment at this level of treatment is highly structured, and there should be a staff-to-patient ratio sufficient to ensure necessary therapeutic services.
