This information is then reviewed by our medical and clinical team to assess appropriateness for our facility, pending approval on both fronts we can move forward with the admission process. We also value obtaining any pertinent medical records we are authorized to by the person seeking help to give us the best understanding we can have of their current condition. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan and provide detailed information about the next steps, including what to expect during the stay at our facility.
