Admissions Process

Our primary goal in the admissions process is to ensure that our program is a good fit for your needs. Potential clients need to demonstrate a desire for recovery and be willing to make positive changes in their lives. Admissions staff will determine the level of care that will best address your needs and will provide information regarding program rules and financial obligations.

The Admissions Department takes walk-in admissions Monday – Friday from 8:00am – 9:00am. All admissions are performed on a first come, first serve basis depending on availability.

If you are determined to be a good fit for our programs, you will complete a face to face admissions interview. The interview is with an Admissions Counselor and a Nurse. Please bring the following documentation with you to your interview (no photos of documents will be accepted):

• Identification (driver’s license, social security card, photo ID, passport, etc.) is not required but should be brought if available.
• Documentation of mental health/medical diagnoses, if applicable.
• If you are prescribed any medications, you will need to bring a medication list from the prescribing physician. A 30 day supply of medication is required for admission to Residential programs, and a 15 day supply of medication is required for admission to Detox.
• If you have ever had a positive TB test in your lifetime, you will need a recent chest x-ray and will need to provide a negative TB card.

During the admissions interview, the Admissions Department conducts comprehensive nursing and clinical assessments to identify your individual needs, including:

• medical needs
• psychological concerns
• employment status
• legal needs
• family and support system status
