What is the Admissions Process?

The admissions process is the first step toward entering a treatment program. Admissions coordinators at SJRP are on your side and want to help you through each phase of the process. Your admissions coordinator will be by your side each step of the way. They will begin with a lot of questions, please be patient as they perform the screening and assessment to collect as much information as they can about your health, substance use, and personal needs. They just want to make sure that your experience at our facility is safe and productive. Answer honestly. You are protected by HIPPA, and your admissions coordinator will not judge your life choices; while they are concerned about your struggles, they are excited to support you in recovery.

Ask your admissions coordinator any questions that you have about the admissions process, or the next steps in your recovery. They can help you make a packing list, arrange travel, and coordinate your transition into our treatment program. When you enter our facility for the first time, your admissions coordinator will be there to welcome you.

What We’ll Ask

“During the intake assessment, we’ll ask you various demographic questions, about your substance use history, and about your physical and mental health concerns. We’ll also discuss your eating and sleeping patterns and your environment. This allows us to begin planning your detox and other treatment services.”

Admission Process

Potential clients will go through a quick and comprehensive telephone screening so we can get to know the potential client. These questions are designed to help us get a detailed idea of what is going on, so we can determine the best course of treatment and determine if St. John’s Recovery Place is the right fit. These questions include a history of alcohol or drug use, medical information, treatment history and insurance information. Once this has been completed and reviewed the admission time will be scheduled.

  • Review the attached “what to bring to treatment” including cash, credit card or debit card
  • Make a list of emergency/family phone numbers to bring with you to our facility
  • Make any necessary phone calls prior to admitting
  • If you will need to have a “Presence in Treatment” letter sent to anyone, (Probation, Judge, Lawyer, Employer, EAP, Therapist, Doctor, etc.) Please bring their name and contact info with you
  • We do not transport clients off campus for any personal shopping, haircuts, money grams etc.
  • We will welcome you and answer any questions you and your family may have.
  • We will collect payment, if applicable, and make a copy of your ID and insurance card
  • Once your loved ones depart, we will begin the Admissions process by:
    a. Conducting a non-invasive body search
    b. Placing your cash, IDs, passports, credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, etc. in our safe
    c. Have you complete the pre-admission paperwork
    d. Complete your admission documentation in our system then take you to Nursing

Due to HIPAA laws, we may not release any information about a patient unless the patient has provided written consent.

Patients are permitted to make phone calls. Patients must schedule this with their primary counselor and all calls will be made in the presence of a staff member. Family members can call in and leave a message for the patient through the patient messaging voicemail system. Patients are unable to receive phone calls directly.

We encourage family involvement in the patient’s recovery process. While we currently do not offer open visitation days/hours, the assigned counselor may schedule family sessions (via phone or in-person) & visitation after the patient has been in treatment for a minimum of 2 weeks. Any request for visitation must be scheduled and approved by your primary counselor. We highly recommend that minor children (under the age of 14) not attend these sessions. All visitors must be approved by the primary counselor.

Each patient is assigned a primary counselor within a few days of admission. The patient’s counselor is your primary contact regarding any treatment concerns or questions. Our case manager also helps coordinate the care of all patients. We also encourage you to attend support groups in your area while your loved one is in treatment www.al-anon.alateen.org / www.nar-anon.org.

We provide medical detox through our nursing staff whom is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Each insurance company has medical based guidelines that we must follow to access the benefits provided in their policy. There are two components to this process:
Pre-certification: We call the insurance company and inform them the patient is here. Insurance will then approve the initial admission and will give us a date to review the patient’s progress.
Concurrent Reviews: We call the insurance company to report the patient’s progress. The insurance company will then approve the use of benefits for a specific time and set a date for the next review. This step is repeated as many times as the insurance company requires.
We work diligently to maximize the treatment days available for each patient. Our counselors keep the patients informed of their insurance status.

Patients must come to treatment with all their necessary clothes and shoes.
