Assessment/Admission
How Our Assessment Works
Finding the best level of care for each individual is our primary concern. Sometimes this means we will refer to another program that we consider to be best suited for the individual's recovery. We use best practice guidelines to help us be sure you or your loved one gets the help he needs.
Admission into drug and alcoholism treatment at The Gooden Center usually begins with a phone call. An assessment interview and a financial plan are completed prior to admission. In the confidential assessment interview one of our Admissions Counselors helps the prospective client determine if the drug and alcoholism treatment program at The Gooden Center is the right fit for him. The information generated assists the individual seeking treatment and his Counselor to create an individualized treatment plan.
Our Admissions Counselor will be glad to schedule a pre-admission assessment interview. Of course, we welcome your call at any time.
