RIST accepts persons served who are currently on Conditional Extension Pending Placement (CEPP) status at state psychiatric hospitals, along with those on CEPP status at county psychiatric hospitals. Additionally we accept referrals in the community who require additional supportive services and skill building in order to remain in the community. Included in those community referrals are local Short Term Care Facility (STCF) units, community mental health providers, and social service agencies.

in addition to seeing persons served in the community, as we continue to do, we will also see people via telehealth or by phone as needed, or if the person served requests this.
