Other policies and information:
CAF Therapeutic strategies does NOT offer the following services:
— disability, custody or forensic evaluations.
— completion of paperwork for emotional support animals.
—Portal: Once accepted as a new patient you will receive an email inviting you to the simple practice client portal. Be sure to complete the new patient welcome packet and other forms before your first appointment. You can use the portal to communicate with your provider, update your information and see your appointments. You can cancel appointments but you will need to contact your provider to make or reschedule appointments.
—Forms: Prior to your first appointment, you will be asked to complete several forms regarding insurance, demographics and an intake questionnaire. Prior to follow-up appointments you will receive a short questionnaire as well. This form helps patients reflect on how things have been going since the last appointment and to make note of things that are important to discuss. It will help set the agenda so that the time spent during the appointment is focused on what is important to you.
—Office hours: The office is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday excluding national holidays. Any messages received during business hours will be returned within one business day. Messages left on Friday will be returned the following Monday.
—Refills: Please allow 5 business days to process a medication refill. Before contacting the office to request a refill, please speak with the pharmacy directly to make sure there is not already a refill or new prescription available. The office does not respond to pharmacy-generated automated refill requests.
—Controlled Substances: Stimulants are prescribed when clinically indicated. Additional testing to confirm an ADHD diagnosis may be necessary before starting a stimulant. Benzodiazepines are rarely indicated in children and adolescents. Medical marijuana prescriptions are not provided.
—Emergencies: CAF Therapeutic Strategies is not able to provide emergency or after-hours services. If you are having a behavioral health emergency, please call your local crisis line, 911, or present to the nearest emergency department.
—Communication: Email is not a secure medium and will not be used to communicate patient information or provide treatment. The patient portal and Spruce are secure, HIPAA-compliant ways to communicate information to your provider. Significant concerns will require an appointment to be addressed.
—Code of Conduct: It is expected that all staff, patients, and visitors will adhere to basic decency and etiquette throughout their time at CAF Therapeutic Strategies. The office strives for an inclusive and welcoming environment and behavior that threatens this is unacceptable. Vulgarity, profanity, disrespect, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Behavioral health services are a limited resource. CAF Therapeutic Strategies is committed to providing services to those who need them and will utilize them. Breaches of the code of conduct or repeated no-shows and late cancellations suggest that the services offered are not right for you and may result in discharge from the clinic.
