At Carolina Community Support Services, Inc., our intensive in-home services address the mental health and substance use disorder needs of high-risk children and their families. Our IIH teams are culturally sensitive and are able to provide the necessary dedication and structured face-to-face clinical interventions to eliminate possible out-of-home placement, law enforcement involvement, or hospitalization while also offering outpatient therapy in Durham, North Carolina.

What Are Intensive In-Home Services?

Intensive In-Home Services are structured, team-based clinical interventions provided in the comfort of your home. These services are ideal for youth ages 5 to 20 who are dealing with mental health disorders, substance use, or severe emotional distress. Our goal is to prevent hospitalization, law enforcement involvement, or placement in a residential facility. Using a culturally sensitive, family-centered approach, our team works directly with both the child and their caregivers to improve family functioning, reduce symptoms, and build coping skills. Services are delivered where they’re needed most, where real change can happen.
