ADMISSIONS

It all starts with a phone call to the intake and assessment department at 888-629-3471. Brett Miller, our Director of Intake or Michelle Adams-Rabe will be happy to discuss your child’s need for residential placement. They will begin the process by asking you about your child’s prior treatment, clinical history and family information to assure that we are the most appropriate level of treatment for your child.

We always invite you to tour our facility and meet our staff before making a decision to place your child with us. Tours are given Monday-Friday 9:00-4:30 CST, special arrangements can be made for weekend and after-hours tours.

Some indicators that residential treatment is necessary include but not limited to:

• One or more acute care hospitalizations
• A history of multiple failed treatments
• Harmful to self or others
• School failure
• Co-occurring substance abuse
• Patterns of persistent disruptive behavior
• Poor social skills/behavior
