Background
Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) programs provide short-term residential mental health treatment for adults with serious and persistent mental illness or acute psychiatric crises. Licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, IRTS offers structured therapeutic care with 24-hour staffing, psychiatric support, therapy, and transition planning. Demand for beds is high — Capacity Track helps case managers see licensed programs by county and openings when providers update.
Questions Case Managers Ask
Browse IRTS by county for openings and licensed programs, then send an inquiry. Open beds appear when Pro providers update capacity; otherwise inquire or call to confirm before placement.
IRTS (Intensive Residential Treatment Services) is a licensed residential mental health program. It provides 24-hour structured therapeutic care for adults with serious and persistent mental illness who need more support than outpatient services but do not require hospital-level care.
IRTS stays typically last 30 to 90 days. Crisis stabilization is shorter — often 3 to 10 days — and focuses on immediate stabilization. Length of stay depends on clinical need and progress.
Referrals commonly come from county case managers, hospital discharge planners, outpatient mental health providers, or crisis teams. The individual must meet criteria for serious and persistent mental illness and need residential-level care.
Yes. Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid) covers IRTS services. Some private plans also cover residential mental health treatment. Case managers typically coordinate authorization and funding.
