Admissions

We understand that every person’s path to recovery is different. Whether you come to us through a partner referral, a court mandate, or by your own choice, our first step is always an in-person intake with our compassionate team.

During this interview, we take the time to learn about your personal history, your goals, and your reasons for seeking treatment. While the process includes important paperwork and assessments, we move quickly to determine the best placement for your success. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and strengths.

Program Placement

Our experienced Admissions Specialists begin by learning about your personal journey—what led you to seek treatment and what you hope to achieve. With this understanding, we work quickly to identify the most appropriate program to support your recovery and long-term success.

Once a placement is determined, we reserve your spot and begin developing a personalized treatment plan in collaboration with you and our clinical team. We also coordinate closely with referring providers, family members, and others involved in your care to ensure a smooth and supportive transition into treatment.

Referral Process

We accept referrals from individuals, family members, and third-party partners—including healthcare providers, criminal justice agencies, military organizations, and community groups.

Once a referral is received, our team will reach out to conduct a brief phone assessment, followed by an in-person intake appointment. Appointments are held during business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To help streamline the process, we recommend bringing any relevant medical, legal, military, or supporting documents to your appointment.
