About These Sessions
These sessions are designed specifically for clinicians and referral partners who want a clearer picture of what Austen Riggs offers, which patients tend to be the best fit, and how the admissions and evaluation process works.
If you're working with someone whose treatment has plateaued, become cyclical, or hasn't held across multiple levels of care, this is a practical opportunity to explore whether a Riggs referral makes clinical sense.
You're welcome to bring case-informed questions in general terms. Our presenters will provide an overview of the model and open the floor for discussion.
Topics covered each session:
- The structure and philosophy of our open therapeutic community
- How our model differs from locked or highly structured programs
- The clinical presentations for which Riggs-level care is most indicated
- How we approach safety, responsibility, and relational treatment
- The admissions, evaluation, and consultation process for referring clinicians
- What length of stay and treatment trajectory looks like for patients at Riggs
- How we collaborate with referring providers
