Alsana

At Alsana, we don’t view outpatient providers as “referral sources” but as essential partners in their clients’ recovery story. When you entrust a client to our care, you can be assured that your level of care recommendations will be honored, your clinical insight will be actively integrated throughout treatment, and that our team will partner with you to support the progress and trust you’ve established in the outpatient setting. Jordan Watson, CEO, and Keesha Amezcua, LMFT, CEDS-C, Chief Clinical Officer, explore key elements of effective outpatient–higher level of care collaboration and outline Alsana’s commitments to providers in a recent blog post.
