College and Treatment Planning Worksheet

How to use this worksheet

Begin by listing fixed school commitments, flexible study periods, transportation needs, and questions that need a direct answer. When you are ready to ask about MVBH, use the steps for starting care at MVBH and review the admissions process and screening information. Keep the worksheet for your own planning unless an authorized person specifically requests relevant information.

Use one row for each class, lab, clinical placement, job shift, caregiving duty, or recurring appointment. Mark whether the commitment is fixed, movable, or dependent on another person. Avoid guessing which MVBH program will fit around the resulting schedule.

Add a question mark beside every assumption. For example, do not treat a preferred appointment window as confirmed. Program fit, availability, start dates, coverage, authorization, network status, and cost sharing are separate questions.

Questions about schedule and daily responsibilities

Compare your obligations with the service categories on the MVBH programs page, but confirm current scheduling directly rather than assuming a match. If benefits could affect planning, submit only the information requested through the dedicated insurance verification process. A preferred schedule does not establish clinical fit, availability, authorization, coverage, or a start date.

Create a seven-day grid. Add classes, assignment periods, work, meals, sleep, caregiving, and transportation. Then mark possible treatment windows as preferences rather than confirmed appointments. Note deadlines that could affect planning, such as registration changes or conversations with an academic contact.

For in-person care, plan around travel to 77 Elm St, Amesbury, MA 01913. Adults from New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut may travel to Amesbury for care, but MVBH has no facilities in those states. Virtual IOP participants must be physically present in Massachusetts during every live session.

Keep diagnosis, medication details, member ID, trauma history, substance-use history, and other sensitive health information out of general website forms. A general contact message can state your name, safe contact method, broad service interest, and scheduling question. Use the appropriate MVBH process when more information is required.

Questions about MVBH scope and next steps

For routine logistical questions, use the MVBH contact page and safe contact options. If the situation may require immediate help, use the crisis and emergency resources page instead of this worksheet. MVBH offers adult outpatient services and is not a hospital, residential, overnight, emergency, or onsite detox facility.

Before contacting MVBH, circle the questions that admissions or a clinician must answer. These include whether the service is a clinical fit, whether in-person or virtual participation is appropriate, what assessment is needed, and which program may be considered. Current availability and possible start dates also require direct confirmation.

For Virtual IOP, confirm that the participant can be physically present in Massachusetts for every live session. For in-person services, confirm that travel to the Amesbury location is workable. Do not assume that living elsewhere in New England creates access to an MVBH facility or virtual service in that state.

One practical next step is to call MVBH at 978-233-9597 with your short list of nonemergency questions. You may also use the appropriate online pathway without including diagnosis, medications, member ID, trauma history, substance-use history, or other sensitive health details in a general form.
