Stabilization Is Just the Beginning—Planning for What Comes Next

What Happens:
Most stays range from three to seven days and emphasize stabilization, brief therapeutic interventions, and discharge planning. Care Management staff coordinate follow-up services, referrals, and next steps prior to discharge to support continuity of care.

Why It Matters:
Thoughtful transition planning reduces repeat visits, strengthens outpatient engagement, and supports smoother handoffs back to community-based care.
