Public Health Theories of Behavior Change Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which type of community residential treatment setting is most likely to be permanent in any state?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Because the evolving consumer household is a permanent living arrangement, it eliminates the problem of relocation. Halfway houses usually serve as temporary placements that provide support as the clients prepare for independence. Clients who are served by respite housing are those who live in group homes or independently most of the time but have a need for 'respite' from their usual residences when the client experiences a crisis, feels overwhelmed, or cannot cope with problems or emotions. Independent living programs are available in many states, but may vary a great deal in regard to services provided with some agencies providing a broad range of services or shelter but few services.
