INTAKE PROCESS
Intake Process
Our process is simple. All you need to do is call. We will handle the rest. Help begins now.
What happens once I call?
You will talk to one of our dedicated Client Access Representatives who will talk to you about what services and supports you are looking for. They will also ask you for insurance information, the best way for our team to get a hold of you, and how quickly you can come into our office for an intake. What happens on my first visit?
You will fill out several forms in order for us to better meet your needs for treatment. You will meet with a caring clinician who will ask questions regarding your mental health needs, treatment history, and SCSI eligibility criteria.
If we are not the appropriate agency to meet your health needs, we will provide information about other treatment resources in the community.
