Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start the admissions process for addiction or behavioral health treatment?
Starting treatment begins with a confidential phone call to our admissions team. During this conversation, we’ll discuss your situation, answer any questions, and schedule a clinical assessment to determine the best level of care. Our goal is to make this first step as compassionate, private, and stress-free as possible—often, the process can begin the same day you reach out. 
Can I call on behalf of a loved one?
Yes. We regularly speak with loved ones who are reaching out on someone else’s behalf. Our admissions team will guide you through the process while respecting confidentiality and the individual’s autonomy.
What information should I have ready when I call for admission?
It helps to have a brief history of substance use, any prior treatment experience, relevant medical or mental health history, current life stressors, and insurance information if available.
How long does the behavioral health admissions process take?
The initial call can be completed quickly. A full clinical assessment is more in-depth and may take several hours to ensure we recommend the most appropriate level of care.
Is the addiction treatment admissions process confidential?
Yes. All admissions conversations are confidential and handled with discretion, professionalism, and compassion.
Can assessments be done virtually?
Yes. Assessments can be completed either in person or virtually with a licensed clinician. Same-day assessments and admissions are also available.
What happens after my assessment is complete?
After your assessment, a licensed clinician determines the appropriate level of care and our team walks you through next steps so you know what to expect.
