How Admissions Works

We’ve made the admissions process as simple and pressure-free as possible — because the last thing you need when you’re ready to get help is a complicated intake process standing in the way.

Step 1: Reach Out

Call us at (949) 736-4494 or fill out the form on this page. You’ll hear back from someone on our admissions team quickly — usually the same day.

Step 2: A Real Conversation

Someone on our admissions team will talk with you — not at you. We’ll ask a few questions about what you’re experiencing, what you’ve tried before, and what your life looks like right now. The goal is to understand where you are, not to qualify you for a program.

Step 3: Insurance Verification

If you have insurance, we’ll verify your benefits directly — quickly and clearly. You’ll know what’s covered before you make any decisions. No surprises.

Step 4: Finding the Right Fit

Based on what we learn, we’ll recommend the level of care that actually makes sense for your clinical situation — PHP, IOP, or individual therapy. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you honestly and help you find what is.

Step 5: Getting Started

Once everything is in place, we’ll get you scheduled and walk you through what to expect before your first day. The process from first call to first day is typically straightforward and fast.

Insurance Verification

We work with many insurance plans. Mental health treatment — including PHP and IOP — is typically covered under behavioral health benefits, though coverage varies by plan.

The easiest way to know what’s covered is to let us check for you. Our admissions team will verify your benefits directly and give you a clear, straightforward answer before you commit to anything.

We work with many major insurance carriers. Contact our admissions team to verify your specific plan.

Common Questions About Admissions

Do I need a referral?

No. You can contact us directly — no referral from a doctor, therapist, or anyone else is required.

How quickly can I get started?

In most cases, we can move quickly once we’ve completed the intake conversation and verified your insurance. Our admissions team will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

What if I'm not sure which program is right for me?

That’s exactly what the admissions conversation is for. Our team is experienced at helping people understand what level of care makes sense — and we’ll give you an honest recommendation, not just put you in whatever has availability.

What if I don't have insurance?

Contact us and we’ll discuss your options. We want to make sure financial concerns don’t stand between you and getting the right care.

What if I've been to treatment before and it didn't work?

Tell us about that. Prior treatment experiences — what helped, what didn’t, what the program looked like — are useful information. Treatment that didn’t work in the past doesn’t mean treatment won’t work. It often means the level of care or the approach wasn’t the right fit.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. Everything you share with our admissions team is confidential and protected under HIPAA. Your information will not be shared without your consent.

The First Step Is the Hardest One.

If you’ve been thinking about getting help — for yourself or someone you care about — this is the moment to act on it. Our admissions team is ready when you are.
