FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Admissions Process

What other information do you collect on the initial phone call?

After the initial basic information is collected, the admissions counselor will lead the discussion on why the prospective resident has made the decision to seek treatment. Questions and discussion topics include:
-Drug of choice
-Frequency substance of use
-Age of first use
-Problems in personal or professional life caused by use
-Precipitating event that led to seeking treatment
-Number of past treatment attempts

4. Must not have a history of violence
5. Must be medically stable
6. Must not be a danger to self or others
7. Must be willing to participate in all aspects of the treatment program and follow treatment program policies

What about my medical history will be asked?

After substance and/or alcohol use has been determined, the admissions counselor will collect medical history, including:
– Any medications the prospective resident is currently taking (both prescribed and over-the-counter)
– Family history with addiction and recovery
– Any ongoing medical issues for which the prospective resident is currently receiving treatment (i.e., diabetes, arthritis, asthma, smoking-related issues such as C.O.P.D., cardiovascular issues, etc.)
– Any diagnosed mental health issues, including current suicidology and past suicide attempts. If positive for suicidal ideation, the prospective patient must be deemed stable by a mental health professional and willing to commit to a safety plan

What if I’m calling to seek treatment for someone else?

If it is decided that their loved one is a fit for admission to Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, the admissions counselor will schedule a time to speak with the prospective resident (and their family member, if necessary).

This will allow the prospective resident to ask any questions they might have about the treatment process and for the admissions counselor to gather any information that their family member was unable to provide. Once all questions have been answered and all information has been gathered and the prospective resident is approved to come to treatment, a date and time for admission is scheduled.
If the prospective resident is unwilling to come to treatment or if the family is interested in intervening upon their loved one prior to scheduling a time for the prospective resident to speak with an admissions counselor, Plum Creek Recovery Ranch works with interventionists throughout the United States who can help facilitate an intervention.

Although this is not part of our treatment process, it is a service that we can provide a referral for. The family will work with their chosen interventionist to establish pricing as well as a time, location, and the necessary steps prior to the intervention.

Do you offer tours of your treatment facility?

Yes, we are pleased to provide a tour of the facility to anyone who is interested. To schedule a tour, call our concierge services at 512-488-1128.
