Within XDS, the <br />MR/MI Team may be used as a "step-down" level of service far individuals who <br />are psychiatrically stable and no longer need the intensively coordinated services <br />of the ACT Team or the Community Support Team. Qnce "stepped down" <br />individuals maintain contact with treating professionals from the ACT Team or <br />Community Support Team.
