What to Expect
What to expect when you call
The first step to recovering from your addiction is to reach out to a treatment specialist. In this phone call, they will gather a little information about you and answer any questions you have about the facility.
From there, you will speak to an intake coordinator to perform an intake assessment. This process helps determine which treatment program would work best for you and if you need additional treatment for co-occurring conditions.
The last step is the first step to your recovery — and that is coming to the clinic to begin your journey.
What to expect during treatment
Beginning treatment may feel confusing and uncertain, but our caring staff will do their very best to make you feel comfortable, safe, and at home.
We treat our clients using the following methods:
- Individualized Recovery Plan
- Medication-assisted Treatment
- Special Programs
- Relapse Prevention Skills

A Step-By-Step Guide to Our Admissions Process
At Essential Behavioral Health, we are here to help you begin your journey to a sober and healthy life. We take pride in our simple and efficient admissions process.
Our team of representatives, many of whom are in recovery, welcome the opportunity to answer your questions and guide you through your admission.
Initial Call and Pre-Screening
When you call us, you will have a conversation with one of our team who will listen to you without judgment. During your conversation, you will be asked some questions about your substance use, mental health, and medical history.
The call and anything you disclose are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which means your information can only be shared with your permission. These are the questions you will be asked:
Substance use
What is your substance of choice and your history with substance abuse? How old were you when you started using? Have you been in recovery before? How much are you currently using, and how often do you use?
Living situation
Is your living situation stable? If not, what is your living environment?
Medical history
Are there any medical conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, or others we should be aware of?

Eating disorder history

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my cellphone to the treatment facility?
In order to provide the level of treatment our clients have come to expect, we do not permit cellphones in our detox or residential facilities.
Are family or friends allowed to visit?
We believe that your support system is an integral part of your recovery, and we encourage you to maintain healthy communication and relationships with your loved ones. During your stay with us, you will be able to contact your family and friends through phone calls, emails, and video chats. We also welcome your family and friends to visit you during your stay. We just ask that you notify us in advance so that we can schedule a time that is convenient for you and your visitors.
What do I tell my employer?
You will need to request medical leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). You could receive up to 12 weeks off as a leave of absence under the Family Medical and Leave Act (FMLA). You do not need to let your employer know you are receiving treatment for substance use or mental health reasons.
How do I pay for treatment?
Our goal is to make treatment as accessible and affordable as possible. To achieve this, we accept multiple payment options. Credit CardsWe take most major credit cards. Depending on your credit card, you may be eligible for special no-interest or low-interest payment plans. LoansYou may be able to take out a loan to cover the cost of treatment. Personal loans and home equity loans are two of the most common ways to finance treatment. Employee Assistance ProgramsMany employers offer employee assistance programs (EAP) that can help cover the cost of treatment. Scholarships and Grants We offer the opportunity for you to apply for scholarships and grants to help cover the cost of treatment. If you are interested in learning more about these options, you can try using GuideStar or Charity Watch.
How long does treatment last?
The average stay is 28 days. The length of stay depends on your personal treatment needs and the level of your insurance coverage. You will have full say in the decision with your clinical team. Our priority is for you to receive the most in-depth treatment for your personal needs.
What happens on my first day of treatment?
Upon your arrival, one of the behavioral health technicians (BHT) will greet you and assist with your belongings. Afterward, you will be taken to a private room so you can sign a consent for treatment. This document is important, as it grants us permission to treat your alcohol or substance use disorder. There will be an orientation after that.
Will I be able to see a doctor?
Yes, every client will talk with a board-certified physician. Additionally, clients have access to a range of other clinical and medical professionals.
