Continuous Treatment Team provided participants with an unlimited amount of community-based services and an individualized plan to address their specific needs. Clinical case managers worked closely with clients to create their individualized plan; address their health needs; and help them access housing, transportation, and money management services. The service population included adults without housing who had a severe psychiatric disorder; no history of violent behavior; and an intention to stay in the St. Louis, MO, area for the duration of the study. The program lasted 12 months.
Comparing Continuous Treatment Team to Drop-In Center showed the effect of being referred to a set of services that were unique to Continuous Treatment Team or how much better Continuous Treatment Team met participants’ needs. In contrast to Continuous Treatment Team, Drop-In Center provided services such as daytime shelter, food, clothing, showers, and recreational activities. This study also examined the effectiveness of Outpatient Treatment.
