No. The website form is only for contact details used to request a callback. Do not enter symptoms, diagnoses, medicines, treatment records or other clinical information. If records are requested, confirm the authorized recipient, secure delivery method and whether signed permission is required before sending them.
Yes, a supporter can help track contacts, dates and follow-up tasks. Ask the record holder whether the adult must sign an authorization and what the supporter may access. Being a relative does not automatically provide access to clinical information.
No. Receipt means only that material reached MVBH. It is not acceptance, a placement decision, an appointment or a guaranteed start date. Admissions continues through insurance verification and prescreen, intake and, when appropriate, treatment start. Assessment, program fit, current schedule, insurance, personal cost and travel may still need individual resolution.
No. Every virtual session requires the participant to be physically present in Massachusetts. A Hampton home address does not permit attendance while the adult is in New Hampshire. Virtual IOP also depends on assessment and clinical appropriateness. The adult must therefore plan either for Massachusetts presence during virtual sessions or travel to in-person care in Amesbury, MA.
Do not wait for a records transfer in an emergency. If there is immediate danger, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, call or text 988. MVBH is not an emergency, hospital, inpatient, residential, overnight or on-site detox service. Continue following existing hospital instructions and directions from named clinicians for discharge, medication or withdrawal-related concerns.
