California to offer recovery-centered inpatient services for

Place fills gaps in the system of care. As a collaborative partnership
between the mental health and developmental disability systems, it
creates continuity of care for clients while maximizing limited system
resources.
The program uses Telecare Corporation’s
Recovery-Centered Clinical System (RCCS), which awakens and enlivens
the recovery process.
