How Admission Works: 4 Simple Steps

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you call. Here’s exactly what happens.

1. Reach out
Call our confidential line or send a message any time, day or night. A real admissions coordinator — not a machine — answers and listens. There’s no pressure and no obligation.

2. Check your insurance and benefits
We’ll verify your coverage, usually within an hour, and explain any out-of-pocket cost clearly and upfront. No surprises. Verify your insurance here.

3. Brief clinical pre-screen
A short, confidential conversation helps us understand what you’re facing and match you with the right level of care — whether that’s detox, inpatient, or residential treatment.

4. Travel and intake
We help coordinate your arrival — many of the people we care for travel from Richmond, Fredericksburg, Williamsburg, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia — and welcome you the moment you arrive.

Most admissions are completed in under 24 hours.

What to Bring to Treatment

Packing is simple. Here’s what to have with you:

  • Photo ID and your insurance card
  • A list of current medications (in their original bottles)
  • Comfortable clothing for your stay
  • Essential toiletries (alcohol-free)
  • A small amount of cash
  • Your phone and charger (per program guidelines)

Please leave valuables, alcohol-based products, and anything sharp at home. If you’re unsure about an item, just ask us when you call — we’re happy to help.

Can I Get Admitted Today?

In many cases, yes. Same-day admission is often available, and our admissions line is open 24 hours a day. If you or a loved one is ready, the best next step is simply to call — (888) 511-9480.

If this is a medical emergency or someone is in immediate danger, call 911 first. For urgent treatment needs, we’re here around the clock.

Helping a Family Member or Loved One

Many of the calls we receive come from a parent, partner, or friend — not the person struggling. That’s okay. You don’t have to have the perfect words.

We can walk you through how to start the conversation, what you’re able to arrange on their behalf, and what to expect. Because of privacy laws, there are some limits on what we can share once your loved one is in our care — but we’ll always guide you as far as we’re able. You’re not doing this alone.
