My therapist's practice uses a voice mail paging system. You can pick from an emergency VM and a non-emergency. The therapist is paged immediately after the message is left, but the pages are different so they know how desperate the situation is. The message the practice has says if for some reason your therapist doesn't get back to you in 20 min, to call again, and to page the head of the practice as well until you get somebody. I have only ever used the emergency one once in 3 and a half years, but it is very good knowing that it exists.
