Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group homes, halfway houses, and residential treatment settings are designed to provide safe, structured environments and adequate supervision if that cannot be provided at home. Clients with conduct disorder are seen in acute care settings only when their behavior is severe and only for short periods of stabilization. Clients with legal issues may be placed in detention facilities, jails, or jail-diversion programs.
