ELIGIBILITY FOR ADMISSION

Upon intake, the client establishes an initial treatment plan with his counselor. This plan is based on the needs of the client, the recommendations of the referring therapist, and the services available to assist him in reaching his goals. During the orientation process, the client will be assigned a big brother or sister to help him become comfortable in the program.
