TAPA Clinical Associates direct the treatment of their patients at three different levels of care: hospital, residential treatment center (RTC), and outpatient. The Clinical Associate assesses the patient, develops an accurate diagnosis, creates a treatment plan, and requests further psychological testing or consultations from other professionals as necessary. The Clinical Associate manages and directs this assembly of treating professionals to ensure that the patient has a highly individualized treatment experience that is customized to his or her unique needs and diagnoses. As patients improve, they can be “stepped down” from hospital, to RTC, to outpatient levels, without changing therapists or treatment teams. Each treatment facility is especially selected by the Clinical Associate to optimize patient quality of care. The Arroyos Psychological Associates specializes in this seamless continuity of care across treatment settings.
When patients are returning to their home communities upon completion of hospital treatment, TAPA Clinical Associates are able to actively assist in transition of care. The Arroyos Psychological Associates has an outstanding relationship with many premiere treatment facilities throughout the United States and the world. For a listing of these fine facilities, please see the “Resources” section of this site.
The team of TAPA Clinical Associates is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to handle psychiatric crises and emergencies. We will assist in managing emergent situations over the telephone and arrange to admit patients to the hospital from anywhere in the United States and throughout the world.
