Overview

Individuals are discharged at the completion of treatment.  If an individual has a Trial Visit, that episode is ended by a Discharge to admit them into residential treatment.  Discharging a client closes a specific Episode.  If a client has multiple episodes of care, the others will remain open until specifically closed through other discharges.

Applicable Staff

Directors and Supervisors can discharge individuals from programs or treatment altogether.
