How to join Psychiatric Rehabilitation (PRP)?

An individual joins PRP after she/he is referred to the program by a Licensed professional such as a Therapist, Psychiatrist and another licensed professional. Your medical physician is NOT eligible to refer his/her patient to PRP directly. Individuals also have to belong to a Priority population to receive PRP services. If you are not currently receiving therapy services from a Licensed Professional, we can arrange therapy for you at Conduit so that you may begin receiving PRP Services.

Confidentiality

We take confidentiality seriously. We understand the importance of confidentiality as it relates to your goals and rehab plan. It is an essential between a consumer and their Support Coach and Rehab Specialist. Successful PRP services requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter. A confidential disclosure agreement will be provided, and you can expect that what you discuss with staff, coaches and/or rehab Specialist will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”. Sometimes, however, you may want or need Conduit or it's staff to share information or give an update to someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Case Manager, Attorney, Mental Health Therapist), but by law your we (Conduit) cannot release this information without obtaining your written permission.

However, state law and professional ethics require Mental Health Programs to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations:

* Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders to the authorities, including Child Protection and law enforcement, based on information provided by the client or collateral sources.

* If the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threated to harm another person.
