TAPA Clinical Associates have established collaborative relationships with many RTCs in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. When a patient is appropriate for RTC level care, the TAPA Clinical Associate will admit the patient to the RTC, coordinate with the RTC regarding the patient’s care, and continue to provide psychological services throughout the patient’s stay at the RTC. Upon the patient’s discharge, the Clinical Associate is able to continue to provide ongoing outpatient care and manage the patient’s treatment at our outpatient offices, or refer the patient to his or her home community for further treatment as is appropriate.
