Behavioral health facilities have broad discretion to deny individuals who seem “too complex” or “too challenging” or “aren’t ready.” This section offers providers referring people with bleeding disorders to inpatient/ residential mental health or substance use treatment things to consider:

• Before making a referral

• During the initial provider call

• While preparing patients for initial outreach or intake calls

• When responding to specific concerns raised by the treatment facility
