Admissions Process for Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Treatment
Rehab admissions process for drug and aclohol addiction or mental health treatment may vary slightly depending center and individual circumstances, but generally follows these steps:
- Initial inquiry: The first step in the rehab admissions process is reaching out to the treatment center, either by phone or online, to gather information about their facilities, and services.
- Pre-admission assessment: During this stage, a trained professional from the rehab center will conduct a thorough assessment of the individual’s addiction history, mental health status, and other relevant factors. This helps determine the most appropriate level of care and tailor the treatment plan to meet the individual’s needs.
- Insurance verification and financial arrangements: The treatment center will work with the individual to verify insurance coverage and discuss payment options, if necessary. Some facilities offer sliding scale fees or payment plans to accommodate different financial situations.
- Scheduling admission: Once the appropriate level of care has been determined and financial arrangements have been made, an admission date will be scheduled. This could be immediately or at a later date, depending on the individual’s needs and availability.
- Intake and orientation: Upon arrival at the rehab center, the individual will go through an intake process, which typically includes a more comprehensive assessment, medical examination, and drug screening. The individual will also receive an orientation to the facility and its rules, as well as an introduction to.
- Detoxification (if needed): If the individual requires detoxification to manage withdrawal symptoms, they will be closely monitored by medical staff during this process. Detox can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the substance and severity of the addiction.
