      Call or message our admissions team

      Tell us what's going on with you, or with the person you're calling about. It's free and confidential. We will need to know....

      • Type of treatment you are seeking
      • Previous treatment experiences

      Verify funding and complete your assessment

      Both happen while you're still on the phone with us. First, we determine your coverage and funding options. Then a clinical screening is conducted to determine the appropriate treatment path.

      • We verify your current insurance to determine your coverage. If you don't have any, or it has lapsed, we explore every other funding option open to you including Presumptive Eligibility for Medicaid.
      • We conduct a clinical screening to determine your appropriate level of care based on your clinical, medical and psychological needs.
