These are not inpatient, residential or overnight services, and MVBH does not provide hospital care or on-site detoxification. Assessment determines which level may be appropriate. If another clinician recommended care, keep following that clinician’s instructions until a handoff is complete, and share clinical information through an appropriate secure process rather than the website form.
Confirm admission, timing, location, attendance and cost questions before changing travel or school plans. The regional access guide explains the Massachusetts care context, while the adult care summary provides general treatment information. For campus services, use the college’s official website or main office. Confirm current MVBH details with admissions.
Before changing travel, classes or work, confirm whether admission is accepted, when and where care would begin, and what attendance is expected. Contact admissions to verify the current process and details.
Insurance approval, benefits and personal costs vary and are not guaranteed by a referral or form. Continue existing clinician or hospital instructions during a handoff. Enter only callback contact details in the website form, not clinical information.
You can bring your own questions to a conversation with admissions.
Yes. A family member or other supporter may request a callback and ask about treatment options. Because the student is an adult, privacy and the student’s participation matter. For services at a particular college, contact that institution directly because this page does not identify a statewide college-specific directory. Enter only callback contact details in the website form.
No. Every virtual MVBH session requires the participant to be physically present in Massachusetts. Maine residence, college enrollment or a referral does not change this location rule. Virtual IOP also requires assessment and clinical eligibility, so do not change housing, travel or academic arrangements until the proposed plan and start information are confirmed.
No. A referral does not confirm admission, placement or a start date. Admissions can explain the current process and whether assessment is appropriate. For campus-specific services, contact the student’s college directly because no statewide college-specific directory is identified here. Continue following the referring clinician’s instructions until responsibility for care has clearly transferred.
Provide only the contact details needed for a callback, such as name, phone number, email and best time to call. Do not enter symptoms, diagnoses, medications, substance use history, treatment records or other medical details. A callback request begins contact; it does not guarantee admission, eligibility, insurance approval, cost or timing.
MVBH is not an emergency or crisis service. Call 911 if there is immediate danger or an immediate medical emergency. Call or text 988 for urgent crisis support. Do not wait for a website response or routine admissions callback. After immediate safety needs are addressed, follow instructions from emergency professionals or the student’s existing clinician.
General information supports a conversation with your care team. Your clinical assessment determines treatment fit.
