Our Admissions Process

Frequently, excessive use of mood-altering substances can be understood as a misguided attempt to self-medicate underlying disorders such as ADHD, depression, anxiety or unresolved past trauma. Of course, the continuous use of this maladaptive strategy to cope only compounds the likelihood of addictive and/or mental health disorders. Therefore, our admission process is designed to shed light on the interrelationship between these dynamics in order to formulate the optimum way to begin treatment. 

A board-certified psychiatrist from our medical team will meet with you for this second phase of the assessment process. Our team of psychiatrists subspecialize in addiction and/or child and adolescent psychiatry. We will also collaborate with any of your previous and current psychiatrists and mental health providers to gain a deeper understanding of the history of your concerns.
