Accessing Mental Health Care

Higher levels of care for mental health challenges include a range of treatment programs and services that offer a greater intensity, frequency of contact, and/or duration compared to traditional outpatient therapy & psychiatric services. Higher levels of care for mental health challenges include (but aren’t limited to) inpatient hospitalization, residential programs, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient programs.
