Ala. Admin. Code r. 660-5-52-.01 - Purpose
This policy provides DHR staff with procedures to follow when assessing a child's need for inpatient psychiatric services (diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment), and when appropriate, the subsequent admission to and discharge from the hospital setting. This policy is not applicable to situations where children require services from Bryce Hospital since commitment to the State Department of Mental Health is required.
