Any child currently in a residential treatment facility or deemed at risk of entering a residential treatment facility may, upon referral, be eligible for this service. The child must be "mandated" (that is, s/he must have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), or be in foster care or at risk of out-of-home placement) and referred through local Family Assistant Planning Teams (FAPT) and Community Policy and Management Teams (CPMTs) with approved Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) funds.

Intensive care coordination (ICC) is a state-funded Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) program focused on reducing the time that children spend in residential treatment facilities. The intensive care coordinator works closely with the child in various residential facilities on becoming a viable candidate for discharge. At the same time, the intensive care coordinator also works closely with the family and community to help prepare for the child's return. ICC can also work with families and community partners to prevent residential placement.
If the child is placed in a residential facility, the coordinator visits the child at least twice monthly, helping the child to meet appropriate goals to ensure discharge from the facility.
The coordinator also works closely with the child’s natural supports and agencies (for example, family members, clergy, and others) within the community. A wrap-around treatment plan is established to bolster the child’s natural support network and to provide for a successful transition into the community. The coordinator also works closely with the Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT), as well as the case manager, to foster coordination between all agencies involved.
Third party payers (health insurance), CSA funds, or client pay based on a sliding scale fund the service.
