Ask your current provider for a reassessment and describe specifically what is not improving. The next step may involve changes to your treatment plan, additional services, or a different level of care. Do not assume you have failed or that the only option is to repeat the same plan.

Perhaps you attend appointments but cannot follow the plan between sessions. You might continue using substances, miss work, isolate, or feel overwhelmed every evening. Concrete examples help your provider understand the gap between the support you receive and the support you need.
Tell the provider about worsening symptoms promptly. If you are in immediate danger or cannot keep yourself safe, seek emergency care instead of waiting for a routine appointment.
Bring the written review to your appointment. Ask to leave with an agreed next step and a follow-up date.
A change in care should have a clear purpose. Ask what the proposed program can address that your current arrangement cannot, and how progress will be reviewed.
An adult attends weekly counseling but struggles with substance use during long evenings alone. They bring that pattern to the next appointment. The conversation focuses on what support is missing between visits and which services could realistically address it.
If another program is recommended, ask who sends relevant records with the appropriate permission, who reviews medications, and whether your current appointments should continue during the transition. Do not assume a referral means the next appointment is already booked.
Before leaving the conversation, write down the provider, phone number, appointment time, transportation plan, and what to do if the appointment is delayed.
Alpine offers adult residential treatment, PHP, and IOP. Ask admissions how an assessment determines program fit and share your current treatment history.
If mental health and substance use both need attention, ask about dual diagnosis care. For a clearer comparison, read which level of care may fit.
No. Identify what helped and bring that information forward. A reassessment can build on useful work while addressing needs that remain.
Discuss the transition directly with the provider. Ask how to avoid an unintended gap in appointments or prescriptions.
Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency, including trouble breathing, inability to wake someone, or seizures. Do not wait for an admissions form or callback. If you may act on thoughts of harming yourself or cannot keep yourself safe, seek emergency care now.
Tell Alpine admissions what is happening and what you need help arranging. Ask about assessment, program fit, scheduling, and costs before making a decision.
