Mental Health Care for Facilities
At Emerald City Behavioral Health (ECBH), we understand the critical role facility and care home
owners play in ensuring the well-being of their residents. Our specialized Intensive Residential
Treatment (IRT) program is designed to deliver comprehensive mental health support tailored to
the unique needs of your facility. Here’s how we make mental health care accessible and
effective for your residents:
Cost-Free Services for Your Facility
Our IRT services are fully covered by Medicaid, meaning there is no financial burden on facility or
care home owners. ECBH manages all billing, allowing you to focus on providing quality care while
we ensure your residents receive the support they need.
Dedicated Full-Time Staff
We assign a full-time team to each partnering facility, which includes:
A Prescriber: Responsible for medication management and psychiatric support.
An Independently Licensed Mental Health Counselor: Providing individualized therapy tailored
to resident needs.
A Peer Counselor: Offering supportive guidance through shared experiences.
A Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Counselor: Specializing in addiction recovery support.
Flexible Scheduling to Meet Your Needs
Understanding that each facility operates on its own schedule, we work to provide clinical staff
during the most convenient times for your residents. Our flexibility ensures minimal disruption to
your daily routines while maximizing the availability of mental health support.
Empowering Resident Choice and Engagement
A core principle of our IRT program is that residents always have the choice to engage with our
team. We take the time to introduce ourselves to both residents and facility staff, fostering a
welcoming and collaborative environment. This approach empowers residents to feel
comfortable and involved in their care.
Collaboration with MCO Liaisons and Social Workers
We actively collaborate with Managed Care Organization (MCO) liaisons and Evaluation and
Treatment (E&T) facility social workers who frequently reach out to ECBH for recommendations
regarding patient placements. Our IRT services are designed to facilitate seamless transitions for
patients moving back into the community from commitment. We are happy to generate referrals
for appropriate placements, ensuring that residents receive the ongoing support they need as
they reintegrate into the community.
