Addiction Rehab Admissions Process
How to Get Admitted to Addiction Rehab
If you are unsure where to begin with drug and alcohol addiction treatment, how to get admitted to rehab or how to admit someone else to rehab, you are in the right place. These are the general steps to expect for admissions into a treatment facility. You can reach out and speak to an admissions navigator about your needs, the rehab admissions process, and your rehabilitation treatment options.

Step 1: Tell them your story.
Admissions navigators may start by asking about your story and/or history with substance use. This is your opportunity to tell us your story and what has brought you to the point of picking up the phone. Many navigators are in recovery, so they can truly empathize with what you are going through.

Step 2: Complete pre-screening.
During your pre-screening, your navigator will develop an understanding of your clinical needs through a comprehensive assessment 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 a determination of which rehab center is the best option for you. You will review it together and the Navigator will answer any questions you might have.

Step 4: Plan your trip.
Once you have reviewed your treatment plan and agreed upon it, it’s time to attend treatment. They 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 rehab center and begin your recovery process.
Once you arrive at a facility, a team member will take you through a final medical screening, get you settled, and begin treatment.
