Who We Serve: : Individuals must be aged 18 and older, have been diagnosed with serious mental illness, need an acute or sub-acute level of care, and are currently involuntarily detained under RCW 71.05 through the civil commitment process. Individuals must have services through one of the contracted Managed Care Organizations of WA. Each referral will be screened for medical care needs, and safety needs to ensure appropriate admission to the Supportive E&T. Referrals are accepted from most areas in WA.

About the Program: Telecare Pierce County Supported E&T provides involuntary inpatient care for individuals with DD/ID who are experiencing an acute behavioral health crisis.
