Description
Referral to treatment can be a complex process involving coordination across different types of services and is recommended when patients meet the diagnostic criteria for substance dependence or other mental illnesses as defined by the DSM-IV.
Referral requires the primary care system to establish new and complex linkages with the traditional specialty care system to connect clients who score in the problematic range to recognized, evidence-based treatment.
Although only 3% to 4% of screened patients in primary care settings typically need to be referred, the absence of a proper treatment referral will prevent the patient from accessing appropriate and timely care that can impact other psycho-social and medical issues.
