Many times, we are able to get the admissions process underway immediately and completed within 24 hours. However, at times, there is a waiting list for intensive residential treatment and transitional living programs. If so, the wait is usually two or three weeks. In order to remain on the waiting list, you must fulfill certain requirements such as making regular calls to the admissions screeners to let us know you are still interested in being admitted. We will always strive to help you admit as soon as possible.

Residential treatment clients who have reached a certain level in their program are allowed visitors. Your counselor will inform you of these levels and when visitors are allowed (usually within the first two weeks). Visitation is Sunday, 1-5 p.m. All visitors are required to attend an orientation meeting prior to their first visitation. You will get more information about visitation guidelines during the admissions process.

The recommended length of stay at can be a few weeks to a few months. The length of treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, addiction, degree of alcohol and other drug usage, and once admitted, the level of treatment progress achieved. The treatment team evaluates the needs and progress of each client, then recommends the level of care and length of stay based on those assessments and ongoing progress.
