Professional Referrals

We understand the responsibility involved when you refer a client to an outside program. Our admissions staff supports referral partners by coordinating intake needs, gathering documentation, and keeping communication transparent and timely.

When you refer to The Ranch Tennessee, you can expect:

• A dedicated admissions contact for your client’s case
• Help gathering medical and clinical records
• Streamlined coordination of arrival and orientation
• Clear expectations for communication once consent is in place
• Weekly touchpoints to discuss progress and needs

This process helps clients settle into care while ensuring you remain informed and involved.

Our team creates individualized plans for your clients using information shared during the referral process. This may include reviewing:

• Co-occurring mental health concerns
• Medical conditions requiring oversight
• Trauma history
• Medication needs
• Previous treatment attempts and what has or hasn’t worked

This collaborative approach helps us offer care that fits both the client’s needs and your clinical insights.

Once a client is admitted and provides written consent, we maintain consistent communication that may include:

• Notification upon arrival
• Weekly progress updates
• Updates regarding challenges or adjustments
• Collaboration on discharge planning

The goal is simple: keep you informed in a way that supports continuity of care once the client returns home or transitions to your outpatient services.

We work with you to develop a discharge plan that extends your client’s progress beyond their time on The Ranch. This may include step-down programming, local therapy recommendations, or community-based groups.
