Admissions
Admission Information
The most challenging part is picking up the phone and asking for help. We can assure you that once the first call is made, you will be supported and guided through every step of the intake and admission the process. We understand that you probably have a lot of questions about addiction and our programs, which is why we have a team of dedicated and friendly staff to attend to your needs.
Sober Living Rehab has a seamless process from initial telephone consultation to timely bed allocation. Our team of clinicians specialize in clinical alcohol and other drug assessment, which will be completed with you to ascertain the best and appropriate level of care for you.
