The services must be an appropriate alternative to residential treatment and must provide intensive, time-limited intervention to help the child and the child's family learn the skills necessary to keep the child within the home and community. The professional home-based family treatment services must be provided as specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 245.4884 , subdivision 3. Additionally, if the child receiving the professional home-based mental health services is eligible for medical assistance, the services must comply with the requirements of part 9505.0324 .
