Alvarado Parkway Institute (API) understands the importance of collaboration among providers when helping individuals access behavioral healthcare.
We value our partnerships with community healthcare providers and welcome referrals from primary care physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and other professionals.
Your Community Continuum of Care Partner
If you have a patient you feel needs inpatient stabilization or ongoing outpatient support, our goal is to be your partner to create an effective continuum of care.
We strive to partner with you to offer inpatient and outpatient mental healthcare services while ensuring you are informed every step of the way. Our goal is to make the referral process as straightforward and responsive as possible while supporting communication, treatment plan alignment, and continuity of care.
Please be assured that we respect the privacy of every referred individual and handle protected health information in accordance with HIPAA and applicable privacy regulations.
Our intake department is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist with referrals, screenings, and questions about our programs and services.
