Enrollment Information #
Potential Adult RTC residents who intend to pay via their insurance carrier need to obtain a referral and provide their medical records at time of intake, prior to enrollment. To meet our level of care, they need to have shown that they require a higher level of support than traditional community services can offer. This typically means a potential resident has a history of trying lower levels of care—such as outpatient or other residential options with less support—with no success.
Those opting for private pay are welcome to self-enroll in the program.
