Finding More Intensive Treatment

Someone may require more support than routine outpatient appointments when there is immediate safety risk, inability to meet basic needs, severe substance withdrawal, acute psychosis or mania, medical instability, or a need for daily structure and monitoring. Contact emergency services, the patient’s insurer, county behavioral health, or an appropriate treatment program depending on urgency.
