What to Expect
Our Admissions Process
Pre- Screening: Your First Phone Call to Realization Center
When you call Realization Center, please ask for the intake department and you will be connected with a trained clinician. We will discuss the program with you in detail answering any and all your questions. This phone call is confidential.
You can either schedule an intake appointment time during this call or this can be an information gathering talk. We do have to get some specific information from you in order to assess your appropriateness for the outpatient program. If you decide you would like to schedule an appointment, we can give you an appointment within 24-48 hours.
Initial Contact: Your First Visit To Realization Center
Your recovery starts with an intake session and occurs in three parts to ensure we understand your specific needs and treatment goals. It’s about you and your journey. At Realization Center we will work together to ensuring that you receive the appropriate level of care. Our caring and dedicated team will take you through a treatment assessment, discuss treatment plan options and together agree on a weekly schedule. During this visit a financial advisor will discuss insurance and payment options available. Our intake hours are Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM.
"True Recovery...means being able to experience all the joy of life without dread or a fear that it will end, and that it’s too good to be true."
-Marilyn J. White, CASAC, NCAC II, Founder of Realization Center
