Step 7: Talk with Your Provider About Alternatives to Inpatient/Residential Treatment

If facilities continue to deny you or your loved one access to inpatient/residential treatment after you have pursued the recommended education and advocacy efforts outlined in this toolkit, please talk with your provider about other community-based treatment options.

Resource Alert!

The BD SUMHAC Provider Toolkit has a section on assessing patient behavioral health needs and options for intervention that you can share with your provider when considering alternatives to inpatient/residential treatment.
