Which of the following was included as a service category after the 1975 expansion?

• A. Short-term inpatient services
• B. Vocational rehabilitation
• C. Medical detox
• D. Overnight psychiatric hospitalization

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how service categories in treatment settings were broadened to include brief, intensive care as a distinct option. After the 1975 expansion, short-term inpatient services were added because many clients need a brief, structured stay to stabilize acute symptoms, ensure safety, and begin initial treatment planning. This creates a bridge between crisis care and longer-term or outpatient services, making it easier to coordinate care and align resources around rapid stabilization.

Vocational rehabilitation, medical detox, and overnight psychiatric hospitalization were already established or treated as different components of care prior to that expansion, so they weren’t newly categorized as a result of the 1975 change.
