A bar graph showing the referral sources for adults admitted to specialty mental health organizations in 1997. Adults entering inpatient programs most often had personal referrals (self, family, or friend), followed by referrals from an outpatient setting, a community setting, then another inpatient/residential setting. Adults receiving outpatient treatment (i.e., care for less than 24 hours) most often had personal referrals, followed by referrals from a community setting, another outpatient setting, then an inpatient/residential setting.
