What Should I Expect Upon Admission?
Upon admission, our medical staff meets with the incoming resident to identify any medical issues of an emergency nature that need attention. All residents receive a complete physical and psychiatric evaluation for potential disorders. This includes a review of family, interpersonal dynamics, and current environmental stressors. Then, an individualized treatment team is created for them. It will address the neurobiology of the addiction along with any co-occurring disorders. They offer individual bi-weekly counseling to help provide them with the tools and foundation to live sober after leaving High Watch.
