Transition to Community Living Services (TCL)
Transition to Community Living (TCL) services are designed to support individuals transitioning from more restrictive mental health service settings, such as hospitals or residential treatment centers, back into the community. These services focus on:
- Re-establishing contact between the individual and the ARMHS provider before discharge.
- Coordinating the discharge plan with the individual’s treatment team to ensure a smooth transition into the community.
- Providing support for up to 180 days after discharge to help the individual reintegrate successfully and avoid re-hospitalization.
TCL services are provided within a structured plan and cannot overlap with other ARMHS services. They are an essential part of helping individuals adjust to community life following more intensive mental health treatment.
