The life span of day treatment for children in the United States is
relatively short, covering a period of about 50 years. Although the
first 20 years saw little growth in the number of centers operating
around the country, the concept of day treatment was recognized by
the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health in 1961 as the
most significant treatment innovation of this century. Enthusiasm
for this treatment modality gained impetus from growing
dissatisfaction among many mental health care providers who had no
choice but to place children in a highly restrictive hospital
environment. Day treat ment did not carry the stigma associated
with inpatient placement. The children could now remain with their
own families and within their own communities. The parents could be
actively included in their child's treatment. This new modality
avoided the short- and long-term negative effects of
institutionalization, and there was a fa vorable cost discrepancy
between day and inpatient mental health services. In more recent
years, there has been growing evidence of the efficacy of day
treatment as an intensive therapeutic environment for children and
their parents. Despite these advantages, day treatment has
continued to be underutilized in favor of inpatient treatment by
both the psychiatric community and third-party payers. Only
recently is it being acknowledged by some insurers as a
therapeutically sound and financially advantageous alternative to
inpatient services. Conse quently, it is showing signs of intense
growth nationally."
