After receiving your inquiry, our admissions team will:

Schedule Interviews: We'll arrange conversations with the prospective client, family members, and any current or previous treatment providers.
Review Documentation: We complete an evaluation of medical records, educational history, and any relevant assessments to ensure our program aligns with your needs.
Collaborative Decision: Our clinical team will determine if our environment is the optimal fit for you, your loved one, or client.

Upon acceptance, clients collaborate with our team members to develop their personal goals—encompassing education, vocation, life skills, and more. During orientation, they meet the community and learn about the various resources and support systems that are available.

4. Active Participation

Clients engage fully in our program by attending both individual and group therapy, completing life skills workshops (covering areas like budgeting, cooking, time management, and more), and building friendships as they practice interpersonal skills.
