What the first three weeks look like
No patient is placed in a program before an assessment, and no assessment happens before we have told you what it will cost.
Days 1–2
Intake call and benefits check
A coordinator confirms eligibility, verifies your insurance, and schedules your appointment. If you are unable to pay, a sliding-scale discount is applied and you are told the cost before anything is scheduled.
Week 1
Clinical assessment
A licensed clinician completes the biopsychosocial evaluation, covering history, medications and risk screening, then issues a provisional diagnosis with an ASAM level of care.
Weeks 2–3
Treatment plan in motion
You start with the prescriber and therapist who will stay with you, and the plan is reviewed at every update as your level of care steps up or down.
A level up, or a level down
Moving between these does not mean a new provider or a second intake.
