How do I get in for Treatment?
Drug and alcohol addiction is a very serious problem that has dramatic effects on not only the addict, but also his or her friends, family, and loved ones. When someone troubled by drug or alcohol addiction reaches out for help, his or her loved ones often do not know the proper steps to take to get help for the individual in need. It is also helpful during this stressful time to know what to expect when seeking help.

The first step to take is to contact a treatment program, like Unlimited Visions Aftercare. When initial contact is made with a treatment facility, it is helpful for the prospective client to make that call. During this phone call, a staff member here at Unlimited Visions Aftercare will ask for some information about the client. We will first need demographic information such as address, phone number, social security number and birthday.

Next, we will need to know if the client has insurance and if so, the information on the insurance card. After this information is obtained, our staff will need to know details about what substances the patient is using, the amount normally used, how long he or she has been using and when the last use was. We will next ask for a brief medical and mental health history to determine if the client is safe to be admitted directly to Unlimited Visions Aftercare or if there is a need to be stabilized first.

Once it has been determined by the staff at Unlimited Visions Aftercare that a client is appropriate for admission to one of our programs, an appointment for an intake assessment will be set up. During this appointment, the client is asked a variety of questions regarding their past and present chemical use, physical and mental health, and family life. The admissions process takes approximately an hour and a half to two hours.

If you have any further questions please contact the admissions department at Unlimited Visions Aftercare at (713) 921-2276. You may also submit an information request directly from this website. We will contact you within 24 hours.
