An alternative to unnecessary residential placements, our Virtual Residential Program (VRP ©™) began operations in the Charlotte area and now extends to numerous rural and urban regions. VRP is a distinctive and effective service that unites highly intensive, multi-systemic in-home services within the structure of a residential approach. The average intensity of VRP services initially is thirty-five hours per week, with a focus on defusing imminent risk factors and implementing crisis stabilization plans. Services are initially planned within an eight-week time frame and extended in four-week increments based on treatment team recommendations and referral source authorizations. Step-down services are available to transition families toward less restrictive services at the earliest possible opportunity. The high intensity level of this program seeks to prevent out-of-home placement or to transition a youth back into the community after completing a stay in a residential facility.
Additionally, FPS of North Carolina offers individual, family and group therapy, community based professional and paraprofessional services, adolescent sex offender services, and outpatient services.
FPS of North Carolina will continue to collaborate with local management entities statewide to develop and deliver the needed services in accordance with best practice principles.
