Patient-Centered Alternative to Psychiatric Hospitalization for Veterans

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Veterans, Acute Hospitalization

In brief

A variety of models of psychiatric hospital alternative care have been developed over the past several decades. San Diego�s Short-Term Acute Residential Treatment (START) model is one of the best established of these alternatives, comprising a network of 6 facilities with a total of 77 beds. Although veterans have been among those served at START programs for many years, no previous study of START or any other model has focused specifically on veterans.
