DDMH only accepts referrals for persons who have established eligibility for supports with Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD). Once the initial assessment by the DDMH psychiatrist is complete, the patient may be referred internally for evidence based interventions provided by allied health resources internal to DDMH. This is at the psychiatrists discretion. DDMH is a consultation service and once the patient has achieved mental health stability, a discharge back to the family physician will occur.
