Treatment options for athletes in the United States
Begin with suitable US care and consider international options separately when an assessment supports that choice.
02Treatment support for athletes in the United Kingdom
Compare local assessment and treatment with overseas residential care using accurate service-location information.
03Considering treatment in Europe
Use the proposed treatment pathway, not the destination alone, to decide what to investigate. Confirm the specific country, provider and service before making travel plans.
Start close to the clinical question
Consider assessment with an appropriate local professional before comparing destinations. Ask whether travel is suitable and whether a proposed program can meet the assessed need.
Compare the whole pathway
Where will treatment actually happen? Who will provide follow-up where you live? Which emergency services are available? What insurance, travel and documentation questions need checking?
Read location labels literally
Residential treatment, assessment, continuing care and client coordination are different services. The individual provider profile should explain the relevant distinction.
