What is the referral process?
Referrals can be made by anyone working with or caring for the adolescent. However, it’s recommended that referrals be completed by a professional who is well-acquainted with the adolescent’s treatment history and current needs. If you are interested in completing a referral, click on the link below.
Our team will respond to referrals as quickly as possible. Please be patient for a response. Our support services are in high demand and bed space is often limited.
Once eligibility for admission is determined, the following items are required prior to admission.
- Completed online referral application
- Proof of current Medicaid or private insurance (if applicable).
- Copy of treatment documents that support the teen’s need for admission (i.e., discharge summaries from recent placements, most current assessment, psychological testing, etc.)
- Active court documentation.
- School records including IEP, 504 and other information to support the teen’s ongoing education while in treatment.
- Tuberculosis (TB) skin test, proof of immunizations and physical exam records.
- Birth certificate.
- Relevant medical documentation of any pre-existing medical conditions that require monitoring while in treatment.
