Upon admission each patient receives an individualized, effective treatment plan conducted by physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, recreational therapists and case workers. If after the initial assessment it is determined the person is not in need of admission, the Assessment and Referral Clinician will provide a written list of outside professionals and/or programs and services.
