Brief Description: Centerstone's Intensive In-Home Treatment services help keep
children and their families together by providing individual and family counseling in the
home or community to help stabilize and decrease the youth's disruptive behaviors and
prevent possible placement in hospital, residential treatment or State’s custody. This
enables parents to take back control of their home and regain their child's respect and
cooperation. Treatment typically lasts 60-90 days, more if needed. Because treatment is
intensive, families will receive an average of 2 to 3 sessions weekly, and in-home therapists
are available 24/7 to respond to crises. Other services that may be provided include
behavior management, parenting training, communication, relationship-building and
school interventions. Services are covered by TennCare. Self-pay is also an option.
