WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM DISSATISFIED WITH SERVICES?

 

 HOW TO REPORT ABUSE AND NEGLECT

 

 You may contact your mental health professional or his/her supervisor to discuss your concerns. If you are uncomfortable doing so or you feel that your concerns were not handled to your satisfaction, please contact your local Rights Coordinator at one of the listed numbers.

 

• It is your right to request a different clinician.

 

• If you file an appeal or complaint, the Community Mental Health agency or

 Substance Abuse provider may not retaliate or create barriers to services.
