Section 8.14.21.12 - MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT TEAMS

Juvenile justice services supports a multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) team that is trained in the special needs of the population. The MDT is integral to each client's custody, care, programming and service. Each client may receive an individualized treatment plan specific to a discipline providing a program or service, and these individualized treatment plans are merged into a plan of care, depending on individual client needs and treatment level. The role of the MDT is to assess the client's overall plan of care, report on the client's progress, recommend and approve program or status changes and transfers, monitor special needs or accommodations, recommend and approve special requests and assist in the planning of the client's transition into supervised release. The MDT team's role is accomplished by providing regular narrative documentation, written input to the monthly progress report and attendance at all MDT team meetings for their respective assigned clients.
