WHO IS SERVED

Individuals age 18 and over who do not have a significant physical health issue or whom would be more appropriately served by another level of care.

REFERRALS

Referrals are accepted from other providers including community mental health programs and hospitals.

TRANSPORTATION

As available, JRACC can provide secure transport services to and from JRACC. If a person needs to be transported via service transport services, and the JRACC transport team is unavailable, the sending county/agency will be responsible for arranging secure transport.

ADMISSION

An individual admitted to the acute care facility may be placed in a secure hold room or a short term residential bed only after they have been screened and approved by the on call physician at Blue Mountain Hospital, as well as the facility's psychiatrist, and appropriate intake paperwork has been completed. If they are from an out-of-area county or facility they must also be medically cleared by the sending physician.

HOLD/CIVIL COMMITMENT PROCESSES OVERVIEW

For individuals placed at JRACC on a hold or civil commitment, social workers will work closely with community mental health programs to ensure that the relevant rules and statutes are adhered to. When an individual arrives at JRACC they may be placed on a hospital hold. The hold (or Notice of Mental Illness) will be filed in accordance with OAR 309-033-0240. JRACC is fully equipped with state of the art video conferencing equipment. Any court processes that can be held by video will be accommodated. When necessary, JRACC's secure transport team may transport individuals to/from court hearings.

DISCHARGE

Discharge planning will begin at the time of admission. Social workers and the clinical team will work closely with the individual, family, referral sources and community supports to step the individual down to the lowest level of clinically appropriate care in the shortest amount of time possible.
