The Placement After Stabilization (PAS) program is a distinctive, collaborative program that delivers integral services as part of the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) Crisis Residential Treatment (CRT) program. Through a dedicated team of clinical therapists, internal DBH program staff and external county and community agencies, the PAS program works closely together to provide effective discharge planning for clients to help ensure they are connected with the most appropriate, least restrictive level of care to attain and maintain optimum wellness after experiencing a mental health crisis. This organized delivery of discharge planning services significantly contributes to the successful transition of clients out of the crisis level of care and into the next stage of their recovery.
