Admissions
Three steps, one phone call.
Here is the process you will follow once you reach out: inform, verify, schedule.
01Call 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....
- The substances being used, and the pattern of use
- Type of treatment you are seeking
- Previous treatment experiences
- Insurance or Medicaid coverage, if you have any

02Verify 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.

03Schedule your admission and start

- Schedule your admission appointment
- Arrange your transportation, whether that's a drop-off, ModivCare (if you have Medicaid), Lyft or Uber
- Go over what to expect, how to prepare, and what to bring
