Community Based Acute Treatment (behavioral and emotional therapy)

I went to look up this initialism because a friend used it in a blog post. What they meant is Community Based Acute Treatment, but we have nothing about it. I'm posting a pointer to this comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Psychology § CBAT (Community Based Acute Treatment).

Here's part of a page:

The Community Based Acute Treatment (CBAT) Program at Franciscan Children’s is an intensive, short-term acute residential unit for children and adolescents experiencing behavioral and emotional difficulties. Often, the CBAT program is used as a diversion to an inpatient hospitalization.

Treatment and stabilization is provided in a structured setting. By simulating everyday community living in a safe, therapeutic environment, children learn the skills and behaviors that will help when they return to their homes, schools, and communities.

From another Googit, a Boston Children's Hospital position announcement:

The Registered Nurse will be responsible for:

• Providing psychiatric nursing care for patients ages 10-17 years on our new Community Based Acute Treatment (CBAT) Program.

And another:
