Q. How do I set up an appointment to get into your program?

Q. Will I be admitted the same day I am assessed?
The first step in determining eligibility for the program is to speak with our intake department. We will review your intake, and, if eligible, you will be given an assessment day and time. When you are assessed by one of our counselors, we will inform you if any of our program offerings will be a good fit for you. All admission determinations will be made pending the final outcome of the assessment.
Please note: If you are not appropriate for our program, we will make referrals for you.
Please note: Although we do ask you to bring your belongings with you, it is not guaranteed you will be admitted at that time. However, please bring your belongings in any event!
Q. What if I have a co-occurring mental health disorder or medical issues? Will I be allowed in the program?
The assessment allows Adams Recovery Center staff to determine the best level of care for each individual. Your ability to be admitted to the program depends on the severity of your mental health and/or medical symptoms and needs. Adams Recovery Center is experienced with working with those who have various conditions and providing them with the tools to succeed, and most clients are able to be admitted. Once you have been assessed, a counselor can discuss your options with you to ensure you receive the care you deserve.
Q. I have active legal/CPS cases. Can I still be admitted to the program?

Q. Is Adams Recovery Center just another 12-Step program?
No. While Adams Recovery Center values the impact and support of 12-step programs, the foundations of our program are evidence-based and individualized. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Hazelden curriculum, and the Therapeutic Community model provide our primary therapeutic approaches. However, we do understand that many of our clients will want to continue to engage in 12-step activities while in our programs, which is why we provide daily sober support meetings in our facilities.
Q. Am I able to attend church or engage in spiritual practices while I am in treatment?
Adams Recovery Center is dedicated to supporting all aspects of a client’s recovery, including religion or spirituality. While we as an agency are non-secular, we are supportive of clients engaging in their own practices while in treatment, such as prayer, reading and/or discussing religious texts, etc. Due to the importance of minimizing time outside of the facility, clients are not able to attend church services while in treatment.

Every client is assigned an individual counselor who will meet with them for individual counseling sessions weekly. Your counselor will be your primary support system and point of contact while you are in the program.
Q. Is there a daily schedule?
Yes. There is a scheduled routine per day of group counseling, sober support meetings, chores and free time. We highly encourage structure in day-to-day activities.

Q. Am I permitted to leave the premises?
Clients are permitted to attend appointments approved and coordinated by medical staff and/or their counselor.
