How to start the call about a family member

OC Revive Clinical Team4 min read

A hard conversation with a family member can start with one thing you've noticed and one question, followed by a call to admissions at OC Revive in Lake Forest.

Start With What You Have Seen

Describe the change you've noticed in one or two sentences, then ask whether they'd be willing to talk with admissions. You don't have to diagnose them or have all the answers.

If the person is a teen, start with our teen page, because admissions refers teens to a specialty program when that's the better fit.

What Admissions Can Do On The Call

Admissions will listen to what's going on and tell you whether our adult partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) program is the right level of care.

Call (800) 808-6757 whenever you want to talk to a person. Once you know which level fits, admissions can check your insurance.

If There Is Immediate Danger

Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger. If someone is in crisis or talking about suicide, you can also call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Outpatient treatment is for people who are safe enough to go home each night, and admissions will tell you if a higher level of care is needed first.
