Specialized Marijuana Rehab and Addiction Treatment In New Jersey

The first crucial step in our admissions process is conducting a pre screening clinical assessment over the phone, which allows us to determine if you are an appropriate fit for the program and can be accepted, identify the right program and level of care based on ASAM criteria, and also provide our prospective patients with the information needed to decide if Valley Spring Recovery Center is the right program for them. Our experienced team of professionals will conducts the pre-screening and evaluates the screening remotely to make the process as simple as possible for new potential patients. Pre-screenings take 20 minutes on average. The reasons for conducting this clinical pre screening are listed below:

1. Determine Appropriateness for the Program: We assess if you are an appropriate fit for our program and can be accepted based on your medical history, current health status, and previous treatment experiences.
2. Identify the Right Program and Level of Care: Using ASAM criteria, we determine the most suitable treatment program (e.g., detox, inpatient, outpatient) and the appropriate level of care to meet your specific needs.
3. Prospective Patient Decision: The assessment also provides prospective patients with the information they need to decide if Valley Spring Recovery Center is the right program for them, ensuring they are comfortable and committed to the process.

Equally important is evaluating your readiness (or the readiness of your loved one if you are researching for them) and willingness to commit to the treatment process. Recovery is a journey that requires dedication and active participation. We assess your willingness to attend treatment and adhere to the recommended protocols. This is vital for achieving the best outcomes, as a strong commitment significantly enhances the chances of successful recovery.
