How long does the Admission/Intake process take?
For a person who walks in the same day; the process can take approximately 3-4 hours. If the paperwork has been completed beforehand and the in-person portion has been scheduled; it can take approximately 1-2 hours.
Will I be medicated the same day?
We do our best to get you in with a doctor and medicated the same day. You can fill out the required paperwork beforehand HERE and we will schedule your in-person assessment. This ensures that you will be seen that day.
