A comprehensive study of both the feasibility and the desirability of operating a state mental health system without a state hospital, except for a small forensic facility, was carried out in Vermont. Feasibility was examined in terms of client needs, service system capabilities, financing, human resource requirements, legal and rights protection issues, and political considerations. The study team concluded that developing comprehensive regional community support and rehabilitation services to replace the state hospital for all public mental health clients except forensic patients was both feasible and desirable since it would result in better services at a roughly equivalent cost to the state. The team also developed recommendations for optimizing the success of regionalization.
