A friendly, empathetic, and understanding atmosphere should begin with the first contact and continue throughout treatment and followup.

If an answering system is used, the message can distinguish the BMDC program from others offered by the agency. Callers may raise questions about BMDC’s specific components and its track record or demonstrated effectiveness to determine whether it can help them.
