Community Behavioral Health is a Joint Commission accredited mental health clinic that meets the standards and requirements of current best practices.

​​

PROCESS OF ENROLLMENT

1. Complete an initial biopsychosocial evaluation with the therapist​

2. Complete an initial psychiatric evaluation with a physician. The doctor may request:

   • Lab work (if not done in the last 3-12 months)

   • Additional neuropsychological testing

   • Outside records from previous mental health providers or others​

3. Complete a treatment plan to outline your goals and objectives in care with a therapist​

4. Schedule recurring appointments with a therapist and/or doctor if needed.

​

BEST PRACTICES

Our therapists and doctors collaborate in all aspects of treatment planning which prevents us from offering medication-only services in line with evidence based practice for best outcomes.

​

Community Behavioral Health's psychiatrists may continue previous treatments from outside providers or will make evidence-based treatment recommendations meeting current clinical practice guidelines.

​

Our expert team will discuss with you if you're eligible for our Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Behavioral Health Home (BHH) or Targeted Case Management; we do not guarantee that you will see all of the mentioned providers in the first and consecutive appointments.

 

You may be asked for a urine and blood sample periodically and on the first day you attend the clinic, we reserve the right to offer a re-schedule if you're unable to be tested.

 

Please be aware if you are on benzodiazepines or other controlled substances that are clinically contraindicated for your condition, the team will work with you to ensure a safe taper to reduce your risk of dependence. Your treatment team is not obligated to continue a medicine they determine to be a risk to your health.

DISCHARGE POLICY

Consecutive missed appointments with either a therapist and/or doctor without prior notice will eventually lead to patient discharge.

​

Violation of clinic policy such as inappropriate comments or behavior made by a patient or a patient's relative to any staff, threats, or destruction of property can lead to immediate discharge.
