Medication is prescribed for many of our patients. The Dr. Claude J. Ranger Mental Health Clinic accepts direct referrals from medical practitioners. We also take pride in the growing number of joint ventures that we have with other community agencies. Direct referrals are accepted from the Nipissing Crisis Intervention Program, St. Joseph s Treatment Centre, Community Counselling Centre of Nipissing, the Adult Community Mental Health Case Management Program, and Canadore College and Nipissing University Student Counselling Services. We accept referrals for individuals who are sixteen years of age or older.
Referrals are usually by appointment.
Those who are seeking vocational rehabilitation, geropsychiatric services, counselling for marital, financial or quality of life issues, and those who are dually diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder and a developmental disability, may be better served by other programs of North Bay Psychiatric Hospital, or by other agencies in the North Bay area. When a referral is not accepted, Clinic personnel will endeavour to identify other resources for the referral source.
