Apalachee Center offers outpatient Family Crisis Care Coordination (FCCC) for children and their families or Intensive Care Coordination (ICC) for adults.
About Care Coordination
Care Coordination is a time-limited service that assists individuals with behavioral health conditions who are not effectively engaged with case management or other behavioral health services and supports. Care Coordination is intended for individuals who demonstrate high utilization of acute care services, including crisis stabilization, inpatient and detoxification services.
Care Coordination is not intended to replace case management. Based on the individual’s needs and wishes, case management may be a service identified in the individual’s care plan for which they will be referred. Case management may be ongoing for those determined eligible for this service based on current standards.
