In the context of behavioral health services, what signifies a higher intensity of care?

Outpatient services
Early intervention services
Residential/inpatient services
Self-care guides

The correct answer is: Residential/inpatient services

Residential/inpatient services are the most intensive care available for behavioral health services. Early intervention services typically aim to prevent worsening of symptoms but are not intended to be the primary form of treatment. Outpatient services may involve regular visits, but patients typically do not stay at the facility full-time like they would for residential/inpatient care. Self-care guides may be helpful for supplemental support, but they do not involve professional treatment and therefore do not signify a higher intensity of care.
