Individuals who are interested in seeking mental health or substance use treatment services can access a service eligibility assessment on a walk-in basis without an appointment. During this assessment it will be determined if you meet criteria to be referred to a treatment within the agency.
After you sign in at the front desk reception area and let the receptionist know you are here for an intake for mental health or substance use treatment, you will receive a packet of forms to fill out to gather basic information. You will then be seen by a financial eligibility worker where basic insurance information will be gathered to determine fees. There is a nursing health screen done through the intake process. You will then meet with an Intake Clinician to determine service eligibility and will be referred as appropriate.
Expect to have a basic health screen and obtain appropriate community referrals for primary health care as needed. The health screen broadly evaluates the individual’s health status, medical history, medications and body mass index (BMI). The nurse also measures the individual’s vital signs to acquire baseline measurements for the record. This may be declined.
