When patient needs exceed the clinic’s scope of outpatient psychiatric care, referrals are made to
appropriate speciality providers, including:
- Addiction treatment centers
- Detoxification programs
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Inpatient psychiatric facilities
- Community counseling services
- Emergency services and crisis stabilization programs
Care coordination efforts are documented in the patient’s medical record to support continuity
and quality of care.
