You can ask questions before deciding on care.
Illustrative imageIf you or someone you love in Warwick is considering MVBH, current public information does not establish whether MVBH uses a standardized therapist referral packet or specify its contents, sender, recipient or delivery method. Check the adult admissions information or use the callback page to ask for current instructions before sharing clinical information. A referral does not by itself establish admission, coverage or a start date. Call 911 for immediate danger; call or text 988 for suicidal thoughts or emotional distress.
The Warwick treatment access overview and adult admissions process provide general starting information, but they do not establish a formal packet or its current requirements. Confirm with MVBH whether information is needed, who may send it, where it should go, how receipt is confirmed and when to expect follow-up. A referral does not guarantee admission or a start date.
Possibility: the therapist summarizes the current concern and why a different intensity of outpatient support is being explored, after admissions confirms what is relevant.
Possibility: the adult contacts admissions first, learns what the assessment requires and then decides whether therapist coordination or selected records would be useful.
After a hospital discharge, continue following the hospital’s directions and the instructions of named follow-up clinicians.
Begin by calling MVBH or submitting the callback form with contact details only.

The practical route is call or callback form, followed by insurance verification and prescreen, then intake and treatment if admitted. The form accepts contact details only.

If MVBH requests clinical information during the process, keep it out of the public form. Admission, insurance approval, personal cost and timing remain individual decisions.

The adult’s own participation may still be necessary as admissions moves forward.

MVBH is not an emergency or crisis-response service. If there is immediate danger or a life-threatening emergency, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988. Continue using any safety or discharge instructions already provided by current clinicians or a hospital.
