After the stay
Phones and old contacts in the first week home
Write who may call, which numbers stay blocked, and where the aftercare paper lives. A phone is not a treatment plan. An adult owns their device unless they asked for help holding it. This page is a question list. It is not a monitoring service.

What to keep on paper
- Clinic-owned number and the first dated slot. See first outpatient appointment.
- One household number that may be called if a release is on file. See HIPAA and family authorization.
- 911, 988, and SAMHSA 1-800-662-HELP. See 988, 911, and SAMHSA.
Old contacts
Blocking a number is a household decision, not a website rule. If use resumes and safety is in doubt, see relapse after discharge.
