Where to start

You do not have to
navigate this alone.

Wondering where to begin? Our admissions team helps you make sense of the options and find the right level of care, one conversation at a time.

Good treatment begins with understanding. Before any plan is set, we complete a careful, multidimensional assessment of what you are facing and what you want from care. National guidance from SAMHSA describes this kind of screening and assessment as the foundation for matching a person to the right level of treatment.

We pair it with the widely used ASAM criteria for levels of care to recommend a starting point, and we revisit that recommendation as your needs change. The result is a plan built around your life, not a one-size-fits-all program.

How it works

A clear path
to healing.

We understand how much it takes to begin. Our admissions team guides you toward the right level of care, one step at a time.

  1. 01

    Introductory call

    Step 1

    Admission begins with a private, supportive phone call. We listen to your concerns, circumstances, and goals, talk through our programs and approach, explore your insurance or self-pay options, answer your early questions, and begin matching you with the right therapist.

  2. 02

    Diagnostic assessment

    Step 2

    Next you complete a thorough diagnostic evaluation, in person or virtually. Together we use it to build a treatment plan tailored to your needs, so the level of care we recommend truly fits your situation.

  3. 03

    Tailored treatment plan

    Step 3

    Based on your goals and assessment, we place you in the level of care that fits best, from intensive outpatient to outpatient therapy and ongoing aftercare. The plan is built for long-term stability, wellness, and growth, and we adjust it as you progress.

  4. 04

    Admissions and intake

    Step 4

    With the right plan in place, our team schedules your intake and handles the logistics for a smooth start. We take care of the details so you can focus on the journey ahead.
