[Intensive outpatient treatment - a therapy option for all patients in child and adolescent psychiatry or just for a few?]

Conclusions: StäB is a viable and well-accepted new treatment alternative for patients requiring inpatient admission. The multiprofessionality of treatment as well as daily contacts are required. Feasibility under the conditions set is given. The average length of stay is slightly longer, but the costs are lower than those of inpatient treatment.
