How Can I Get Help?

Here is a basic outline of our admissions process:

1. Find the Correct Level of Care

The first step in getting help is finding the correct level of care. The Genesis House has professional staff who are able to effectively assess and screen for substance use disorder and Co-Occurring disorders. A professional assessment is the best way to clinically assess the problem, determine the best level of care for you, and help determine what type of treatment and recovery services are best for you.

2. Assessment

Before beginning any kind of outpatient counseling at Genesis House, the first step that you must take is assessment. We begin with a [Level of Treatment Assessment – hyperlink to page on level of treatment assessments] which will tell us where your therapy needs to begin. You may start at detoxification and then move to inpatient and finally to outpatient. You may also start at inpatient and move to outpatient, or sometimes directly to outpatient. Occasionally, after inpatient, a recovery house is recommended as a “step-down” level of care in conjunction with outpatient. That is the purpose of an assessment; it’s the way to determine the best path to recovery. Genesis House offers assessments, but assessments can be done by a variety of agencies. If you have private insurance or medical assistance, contact your provider as they can inform you of the agencies that are in-network. If you are still unsure, call us or your county’s Drug and Alcohol office.

3. Finding Funding

Our intake specialist will assist you with finding funding for treatment. A number of funding options are outlined below, but you can always call one of our facilities and we’ll discuss these with you over the phone.

4. Attend Your Scheduled Assessment

Based on your Level of Treatment Assessment, you will begin Outpatient Counseling, Group Counseling, Intensive Outpatient Counseling or a combination of counseling types that could include couple’s counseling, family counseling or co-occurring disorder counseling. All outpatient counseling is performed at Genesis House, however, if you need detox or inpatient, our staff will help you select a provider that accepts your insurance and meets your needs.
