People with bleeding disorders (BD) typically have access to outpatient treatment. Unfortunately, accessing inpatient and residential behavioral health treatment can be more difficult. But don’t give up! BD SUMHAC has tools to help get you the treatment you need and deserve.

Talk with your providers about what treatment options are appropriate for you, including:

• Outpatient therapy or medication management

• Intensive in-home treatment

• Partial hospitalization

• Intensive outpatient programs 

• Inpatient or residential treatment

Share these materials with your referring provider and your BD treatment team:

• Background on people with BD being denied access to behavioral health facilities: Start here if your provider is unfamiliar with the issue of people with BD being denied access to BD facilities.

• The BD SUMHAC Provider Toolkit: This toolkit is a comprehensive guide to assist providers in referring people with BD to behavioral health facilities and can help them to facilitate admission on your behalf.
