I had some time this morning to call my new T's to check in w/ them about my weekend. They're both I'm the middle of a 2 wk intensive trauma/attachment clinic & can't take the call so I talk to the receptionist. I told her it was important that I talked to them & she asked me if " I destabilized(?) or in crisis? Well had to ask the definition of destabilized & said it was more of a crisis.
She gave me the # for the state wide "can help" hotline. I'm familiar w/ them but kno they come to your residence to talk & evaluate for inpatient. That would be redundant!
Thn she explained that my T's are "outpatient T's" & don't do crisis work. They don't want calls on the phone basically. It's not the way they work.
After I got off the phone I looked for all their paperwork & sure enough it said they only do outpatient work & for anything other than appts u have to call the hotline.
This really threw me off. So for a crisis I don't have anyone to call. Has anyone heard of "outpatient T's?"
