Neurofeedback, also known as EEG (electroencephalogram) biofeedback, is a therapeutic intervention that provides immediate feedback from a computer-based program that assesses a client’s brainwave activity. The program uses auditory or visual signals to help patients recognize their thought patterns and try to modify them. Through this process, clients can learn to regulate and improve their brain function and hopefully alleviate symptoms of various neurological disorders and mental health conditions.

Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) are time-limited mental health services provided in a residential setting. Recipients of IRTS are in need of more restrictive settings (versus community settings) and at risk of significant functional deterioration if they do not receive these services.

Recipients admitted to adult day treatment programs must be in need of and have the capacity to benefit from the rehabilitative nature, the structured setting and therapeutic components of psychotherapy and skills activities that are integral to a day treatment program.
Recipients with mental illness and a developmental disability or cognitively degenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s, must have the ability to understand and benefit from day treatment. When a recipient does not have or ceases to have the cognitive capacity to benefit from day treatment services, day habilitation programs or adult day care services under a waiver program may be more appropriate. Refer recipients in need of these or other services to the county human service agencies or private agencies. Day treatment is distinguished from day care by the structured therapeutic program of psychotherapy and other therapeutic components.
