A Letter to You

Dear Outpatient Provider –

Thank you for your interest in Centennial Peaks Hospital. We have a wide range of services for patients ages 13 and above and provide treatment for both mental health and substance abuse issues. We also treat patients with co-occurring disorders.

Therapists, psychiatrists and other professionals from the community refer their patients to us for our risk assessment which assist them in determining their patient’s level of risk to himself/herself and to others and to provide appropriate care. Generally, we are able to schedule a requested appointment for an assessment for the same day we receive the referral call. Our assessment department conducts clinical assessments to determine level of care (inpatient or outpatient) and program placement. These assessments are conducted by licensed therapists or Bachelor level, registered nurses.

On some occasions, we determine that inpatient care is appropriate, on others we refer the patient back to his/her outpatient providers. In any case, we value the outpatient provider’s clinical judgment and communicate closely during the risk assessment process to make the very best care decisions.
We contact patients’ outpatient providers at admission, during treatment and at discharge. After discharge a copy of each patient's discharge plan is faxed or mailed to each outpatient provider (including PCP’s) listed on the patient's Release of Information form.

Please let us know if you have any concerns about our treatment process or questions regarding your client's care. We are continually grateful for your referrals and suggestions.
