The multI-faceted mission of Intensive Home-Based Treatment (IHBT) include:
– Offering a comprehensive service array
– Providing integrated and seamless service and treatments at a single point of clinical responsibility –
– A combination of crisis stabilization, safety planning, and skill building that is trauma-focused, family-focused
– And a menu of resiliency and support-building interventions that can accompany and complement cognitive interventions.
In working toward these goals, the interventions implemented and employed in IHBT aim to assist and facilitate clients, families, communities, clinicians, policy-makers and funders along with others in the field with the information and tools involved in Evidence-Based, Best, and Promising Practices and ways to incorporate these practices into their communities or clinical settings.
The interventions resources provide a collection of scientifically-based resources for a broad range of audiences, including Treatment Improvement Protocols, toolkits, resource guides, clinical practice guidelines, and other science-based resources.
Consistent with the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s (ODM) and OhioMHAS, rules to promote high-quality service, the IHBT Fidelity Tool was developed to ensure compliance with IHBT service delivery standards. Providers choosing to bill services under Medicaid’s IHBT bundled rate must be certified. Certification assures minimum fidelity standards are being met.
