Community Behavioral Health Services

Treatment Access Program (TAP)

Contacting the Treatment Access Program (TAP) Voluntary, SACPA and Central Mental Health Access Units

ANY client can self-refer to TAP by calling 1.800.750.2727 regardless of whether or not they meet any of the triage priorities.

For Hospitals, ADUs and Medical Respite Units

Clients will be given an appointment date for an assessment on a same-day basis or no more than three working days of the initial referral call.

For all Behavioral Health and Social Services Providers

To make a referral, contact 415.538.5500 (M-F, 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.). From the time of the assessment, TAP will make every effort to assist and closely follow the client until s/he has been successfully placed into a treatment program. If the referring provider has an existing, long-term relationship to the client, TAP will coordinate case management efforts accordingly. TAP will refer to these clients as “placement clients”.

For Authorization for Outpatient Mental Health Services

Clients may access these Behavioral Health services by calling the local or toll-free Central Mental Health Access numbers at 415.255.3737 or 1.888.246.3333 or by walking into any one of City Mental Health outpatient clinic sites.
