In the spring, Recovery Alberta introduced an internal process change to support timely access to care.
Access Mental Health clinicians are now direct booking clients into many Recovery Alberta programs and clinics for outpatient services.
There is no change to several core elements of outpatient services:
- No session cap in outpatient mental health and addiction services.
- Referral criteria, eligibility, and service mandates remain the same.
- Treatment continues to be guided by clinical need, patient goals, and provider judgment.
