A Compassionate First Conversation

Call our Admissions team to get started today

The admissions process usually begins with a confidential phone call or online inquiry. During this conversation, a member of our admissions team will listen carefully to your situation and answer any questions you may have about treatment.

You can expect us to ask about:

  • Substance use history
  • Current mental and physical health concerns
  • Previous treatment experiences
  • Insurance coverage or payment options
  • Immediate safety or detox needs


This conversation helps us understand your unique needs and recommend the most appropriate level of care.

Confirm Coverage

Insurance Verification and Payment Options

Understand your benefits before getting started

We know that cost can be a major concern when seeking treatment. Our admissions specialists will verify your insurance benefits and explain what services may be covered.

If you do not have insurance or need additional support, we will discuss alternative payment options and help you explore ways to make treatment more accessible. Our goal is to make sure financial questions don’t stand in the way of getting help.

Clinical Assessment

discuss your needs to ensure the right level of care

Before beginning treatment, you will complete a comprehensive clinical assessment. This evaluation allows our clinical team to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual circumstances.

The assessment typically looks at:

  • Substance use patterns
  • Mental health history
  • Medical needs
  • Family and social environment
  • Personal recovery goals


Because many people experience both addiction and mental health challenges, we also assess for co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, or trauma-related conditions.
