Admissions for addiction treatment in Dallas

What happens between the first call and the first day.

The short answer

Admissions is the program’s process for checking that it is a safe fit, confirming payment, and setting your first day. It usually starts with a phone screening and ends with a medical check when you arrive.

The usual steps

  1. Phone screening with an admissions staff member
  2. Insurance or payment check
  3. Arrival, paperwork and a medical check

The phone screening

An admissions staff member asks about substance use, health, mental health and current medications. They use the answers to decide which level of care fits and whether they can take you.

If the program is not the right fit, a good one will tell you and point you somewhere that is.

What to bring

Programs differ, so ask for their list. Most ask for a photo ID, your insurance card, and your current prescriptions in their original bottles. Residential programs will also tell you what clothing and items are allowed. Some limit phones and outside food.

On the first day

Expect paperwork, consent forms, and a check by a nurse or doctor. You will usually meet a counselor who starts building your treatment plan. Read more in your first day.

The phone screening is often short. The time to a start date depends on openings and insurance approval.

Can I be admitted the same day?

Some programs can, especially for detox. Ask each one directly.

What if I am turned down?
