What Not to Use It For

When should families use another contact option?

Immediate emergency

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If there is a mental health crisis or risk of self-harm in the U.S., call or text 988.

Admissions or placement questions

For new admissions, insurance verification, cost questions, or treatment placement, call 877-415-4060 or use Alpine’s admissions process.

Guaranteed approvals

Texting a request is not the same as approval. Some requests require clinical review, consent, timing, or program policy review.

Safety note

If the situation feels urgent and you are unsure whether it is an emergency, choose safety first. Call 911 for immediate danger or use 988 for urgent mental health crisis support.

Why This Works

Why does one clear family line help?

Families often feel overwhelmed during treatment. They may not know who to call, what to ask, or whether their concern belongs with admissions, clinical, or family support. One clear text line reduces confusion and gives families a simple first step.

The line also helps keep family communication organized so requests can be reviewed appropriately and routed to the right next step.

  • You need help requesting family therapy.
  • You want to ask about a family visit.
  • You want to send a supportive letter.
