No. MVBH is not an emergency or hospital service. Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency. Call or text 988 for suicidal thoughts, emotional distress or a mental health crisis. Do not wait for an admissions callback or website response when urgent help is needed.
Do not assume that contacting 211 creates a referral or appointment. Confirm what, if anything, was arranged and what the next step is directly with the organization involved.
Ask MVBH admissions whether virtual participation may be available from New London. Availability is not confirmed by this page.
Enter only the contact details needed for a callback, such as your name, phone number, email and best time to call. Do not include symptoms, diagnoses, medicines, substance-use history, records or other medical information. Submitting the form starts contact but does not confirm eligibility, admission or a treatment date.
No change should be made from general website information. Existing hospital instructions and directions from named follow-up clinicians remain the source for post-discharge steps. Ask that provider how a new resource or possible MVBH assessment fits the current plan. Do not change medicines, appointments or safety instructions without guidance from the responsible clinician.
General information supports a conversation with your care team. Your clinical assessment determines treatment fit.
