Notice Regarding COVID-19 PCR Testing Prior to Admission
The Brattleboro Retreat is committed to maintaining the healthiest environment possible for our patients in psychiatric crisis. All patients (children, adolescents, and adults) are required to have a Covid-19 PCR test prior to their admission.
It is of the utmost importance for Vermont's healthcare system to observe all necessary infection control steps in order to maintain inpatient capacity for the psychiatric treatment of Vermonters of all ages.
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION FOR PARTNERS & REFERRAL SOURCES: In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, all inpatient admissions must first meet criteria for inpatient psychiatric level of care as determined by a crisis screening evaluation. The hospital's inpatient programs continue to serve individuals on a case-by-case basis who present with a secondary substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis requiring medically managed detoxification from alcohol, prescription drugs, and other potentially dangerous or addictive substances.
