Rehab Admissions Process Guide

What are the steps for getting into treatment?

If you are unsure where to begin with addiction treatment, you are in the right place. These are the steps to expect for admissions into a treatment facility, though the process may be different depending on the center.

Step 1: Tell them your story.

Reach out to your chosen rehab facility and tell them your story. They will discuss your treatment options and develop a plan.

Step 2: Complete pre-screening.

During your pre-screening, your navigator will develop an understanding of your clinical needs and the logistics involved with helping you attend treatment. You will be asked questions regarding your mental state, physical limitations, and any medical preconditions you may have. At this time, you will also discuss payment by insurance or another method.

Step 3: Receive a personalized treatment recommendation.

Based on your individual circumstances and clinical needs, your navigator will provide you with a treatment recommendation and plan. You will review it together and the Navigator will answer any questions you might have.

Step 4: Plan your trip to treatment.

Once you have reviewed your treatment plan and agreed upon it, it’s time to attend treatment. A representative will schedule your admission, provide you a packing list, a travel schedule, and any assistance you may need to get to treatment successfully.

Step 5: Arrive at selected facility and begin your recovery process.

Once you arrive at the facility, a compassionate team member will take you through a final medical screening, get you settled, and begin treatment.
