The County of San Luis Obispo Department of Behavioral Health is requesting proposals for client placement at Mental Health Rehabilitation/Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) facilities. These facilities provide a wide range of adult residential services and the appropriate levels of care to seriously mentally ill individuals in need of residential placement. With the exception of State hospitals and other acute care hospitals, Mental Health Rehabilitation/Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) facilities offer the most intensive level of care in the residential care continuum. IMDs are locked residential facilities that are primarily engaged in providing intensive care of persons with severe mental illness, which includes medical attention, nursing care, assessment, clinical treatment, and other related services. Intensive services, including psychiatrist coverage, are offered 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
