Admissions

When you call us, you will have a conversation with one of our team who will listen to you without judgment. During your conversation you will be asked some questions about your substance use, mental health, and medical history.

• Substance use – What is your substance of choice and your history with substance abuse? How old were you when you started using? Have you been in recovery before? How much are you currently using, and how often do you use?
• Living situation – Is your living situation stable? If not, what is your living environment?
• Medical history – Are there any medical conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, or others we should be aware of?
• Mental health history – Have you been diagnosed with any mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, PTSD, or anxiety? Are you currently receiving treatment for these conditions? Are you on any medications for these disorders?
• Eating disorder history – Do you have a diagnosed eating disorder? Are you in remission?
• Any additional medical information

Please be assured that your call to us is 100% confidential. The call and anything you disclose are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) which means your information can only be shared with your permission.
