Coming to treatment
What to expect when you arrive.
The unknown is the scary part. Here's exactly what your first day and week look like, so you can walk in knowing what's ahead.
Your first day
When you arrive, you'll be welcomed and assessed by our medical and clinical staff, settled into your space, and oriented to the program. We'll review your belongings, secure your valuables, answer your questions, and make sure you feel safe and at home.
Admission into our Withdrawal Management program (detox) can begin the same day as your initial call, in most cases.
Your first week
If you are here for Withdrawal Management we will make you comfortable and medically work with you to detox you from substances you are using. Detox lasts five to 10 days, depending on the clinical protocol. Toward the end of your detox, your care team will work on next steps of your recovery journey that may include short-term or long-term residential treatment.
The early days of treatment are about stabilizing and getting you comfortable. For both Withdrawal Management and Residential, you'll meet your primary counselor, begin building your individualized treatment plan, and settle into the daily structure: meals, counseling, group sessions, and rest.
How we'll support you.
24/7 medical monitoring
Around-the-clock medical staff during detox, monitoring your withdrawal so it is managed rather than endured.
A primary counselor
Experienced clinician who listens to your needs, coordinates your care, communicates with your loved ones and helps you build your treatment plan.
A plan for what comes next
Individualized plan that is developed and updated at each stage of the continuum identifying bot internal transfer options or discharge plans into continuing care.
What about the outside world?
Family contact
Your counselor helps arrange calls with loved ones, when appropriate, and also coordinates family programming.
Court dates
We make every effort to accommodate legal obligations and communicate with the courts. Let us know in advance so we can build this into your treatment planning.
Medical Appointments
If you have an important medical appointment that can interfere with your treatment, take care of this ahead of time. We have 24/7 medical staff onsite so let us know upon assessment and admission so we plan accordingly. In many cases, clients can begin treatment, complete detoxification if required to address your medical treatment needs without interrupting their path to recovery - you can return to residential after you address your critical medical needs.
Privacy
Your treatment is confidential, protected by state and federal law, including the rules written specifically for addiction treatment records.
