One clear professional route
Professionals should not have to search through general patient pages to understand how to begin a treatment conversation.
Urgent or life-threatening situation?
This professional referral page is not an emergency service. Use local emergency services for immediate medical or psychiatric danger.

Why a professional referral page matters
Make the handover easier for the professional and the patient.
Clinical discussion before travel
International treatment planning should follow appropriate assessment and preparation, not simply flight availability.
Continuity after treatment
Where the patient authorizes it, the referral workflow can support communication with the original professional around continuing care.
A flexible framework
A clear referral pathway that can evolve with your clinical operations.
The public referral page gives professionals a clear overview, while the secure portal handles the actual referral submission. Internal clinical and operational steps can continue to evolve without changing the public-facing experience.
Professional contact
A referrer asks a question, discusses a potential case or requests referral access.
Clinical review
The appropriate DeBinge team member considers whether further assessment should be arranged.
Individual planning
If appropriate, preparation, treatment timing and travel can be discussed with the patient.
Continuing care
The final workflow can support authorized handover or follow-up with the referring professional.
Important: These stages provide a clear professional overview. Internal clinical and operational procedures can be refined over time without changing the public referral experience.
The treatment journey
Designed around preparation, treatment and return to real life.
DeBinge treatment takes place in Nassau. The public page should make that clear while showing professionals how international treatment can fit into a wider recovery plan.

Clinical fit
Referral does not mean automatic acceptance.
A professional referral should begin a clinical conversation. Treatment suitability, withdrawal requirements, medications, medical risk and travel readiness need to be considered individually.
It may be worth discussing DeBinge when
- a patient is actively exploring private addiction treatment;
- a professional wants to discuss whether a naltrexone-based approach may be relevant;
- the patient can participate in an appropriate clinical assessment;
- international treatment in Nassau is being considered as one option;
- there is a plan for ongoing recovery work and follow-up after treatment.
Local or urgent care should come first when
- there is a suspected overdose or other medical emergency;
- dangerous or unstable withdrawal may be occurring;
- there is acute psychiatric risk or immediate danger;
- the person requires hospital-level stabilization;
- travel has not yet been assessed as clinically appropriate.
Professional principles
Built around clinical integrity.
Consent
Patient information should only move through the final referral process with the appropriate authorization and lawful basis.
Confidentiality
Sensitive health information should not be submitted through ordinary email or unsecured public forms.
Clinical suitability
A referral initiates review. It does not replace assessment or create an automatic treatment recommendation.
No referral bounty
This page is positioned as professional clinical collaboration, not payment for patient referrals.
SECURE REFERRAL PORTAL — CONNECTION POINT
The secure professional referral portal is now connected.
The “Refer a Patient” button opens the secure DeBinge referral portal. Professionals should use that portal for authorized referral information rather than sending identifiable patient or clinical information through ordinary email or unsecured public forms.
Frequently asked questions
Before making a professional referral
Does DeBinge operate a treatment facility in the United States?
No. This page should clearly explain that DeBinge treatment takes place in Nassau, The Bahamas. U.S. professionals can use the page to discuss whether that pathway may be appropriate for a patient.
Can I discuss a potential case before making a formal referral?
Yes. The page can direct professionals to a consultation first. Patient-identifiable details should not be sent through an ordinary email or unsecured public form.
Does a referral mean the patient will automatically be accepted?
No. A referral should begin a review process. Clinical suitability, preparation, medical risks and travel readiness need individual assessment.
Can the referring professional remain involved?
The final workflow can include authorized communication or continuity-of-care coordination where the patient consents and the arrangement is clinically and legally appropriate.
Can I refer somebody who may be in active withdrawal?
A professional can make contact, but significant or potentially dangerous withdrawal may require local assessment or stabilization before international treatment or travel is considered.
How do I submit a professional referral?
Use the “Refer a Patient” or “Open Secure Referral Portal” button on this page. You will be taken to the secure referral form at https://debinge.com/professional-referrals-refer-a-patient/.
