What is IRSH?
Intensive Residential Services serves individuals over the age of 18, who have a diagnosis of severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) or co-occurring conditions, in conjunction with functional impairments. Services are provided 24/7/365 and have multiple staff per shift. This service is intended to be short-term and intensive in nature, with the goal of working diligently on the individuals’ goals in order to successfully partner with them to transition to a lower level of care.
​
