Information
Registration
Upon your first visit to the Institute,
you will be asked to register as a new patient
before seeing your clinician. Please bring
your insurance card.
Initial
Visit
The initial visit is generally for the purpose
of conducting an assessment to determine
your treatment needs. It may include a recommendation
for a higher level of care such as intensive
outpatient treatment, day hospital or hospitalization.
Referrals to other clinicians may also be
recommended. While most assessments are
completed in one session, additional sessions
may be necessary before agreeing upon a
course of treatment.
Insurance
We
work closely with patients, families, agency
representatives, insurance companies and
managed care networks to determine all possible
payment options. We are an approved provider
for most major insurance companies and managed
care systems.

not discriminate in accepting anyone for
