Im confused because here in america whether a person gets treatment does not depend on whether they have after care. it depends on whether that person is having a mental or physical health problem. even specialized inpatient care does not base their intake process on whether someone has after care or not. its based on what their mental problems....

example if someone is having problems with dissociation their inpatient process is a treatment provider assessing what dissociative symptoms they are having and then making a treatment plan (therapy, meds....)

its like if you go to the ER because you have a broken bone the intake is about how you broke your bone not on whether you have someone at home to take care of you....

here in the USA the process of being admitted to a hospital, mental health facility, therapy....is about what the mental problems are.

another example I was having a dissociative problem which required being admitted. my wife took me to the Emergency room. the psychiatrist came in and asked me what my problem was, was I feeling numb, was I feeling spaced out, was I feeling disconnected, was I feeling like everything was moving too fast or too slow (deperwsonalization /derealization /DID/ OSDD/USDD symptoms). After they wrote down the information of what my mental problems were they admitted me to the mental health unit. while on the unit we worked on things associated with treating my dissociative symptoms. then when I was stable again and I was released. it is always after treatment and during the preparing for discharge that discussions were about whether or not I was going to be discharged to go home, stay longer, referred to longer treatment facilities. the getting admitted and treatment was based on what my mental problems are not based on whether I had after care or not.

now you see why Im confused. here in america being admitted to a hospital or treatment agency or treatment facility does not depend on ones after care. if it did american hospitals and other treatment facilities would be quite empty due to there are a lot of homeless people and single people who have no family or friends to care for them in them already.

I made some calls and no treatment providers that I know around the USA know of any such rule stating in order for someone to be admitted they have to have after care, so if someone has told you that, if it was me I would be reporting them for breach of ethics, emotional abuse of a mentally challenged person and other crimes against this.

my suggestion type in a search bar your location and the words clinical social workers ethics board. They may be able to tell you how to get past what ever rule this is that is saying you have to have after care before geing treated, because I have never heard of such a thing. usually people get treated first then after care comes next.
