Recovery Intake and Admissions Process
All prospective GreeneStone clients must complete a comprehensive intake phone assessment. This assessment gathers personal information as well as medical and substance use history to ensure our treatment program can provide the best care for you or your loved one.
Through motivational interviewing, we help individuals who may struggle with this process. If requested, a family member, physician or friend may join this call, as we understand additional support is often appreciated when someone is hesitant about treatment.
Intake Assessments at GreeneStone
Our experienced intake and admissions professionals at GreeneStone will conduct a comprehensive intake phone assessment to evaluate the following.
Withdrawal Risk
Withdrawal is the combination of mental and physical effects an individual experiences after reducing their intake of a substance, such as alcohol and recreational or prescription drugs.
GreeneStone will assess your withdrawal risk to ensure your time spent in recovery is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Psychosocial History
Psychosocial health is a state of spiritual, social, emotional and mental well-being. Psychosocial health is an umbrella term encompassing emotional health and emotional intelligence, or the ability to manage one’s own emotions and those of others. A thorough psychosocial history will help our specialists collect the information needed to provide a meaningful evaluation.
The psychosocial health information we gather includes areas related to your mental or psychological health, social history, and other factors such as stress, support networks, including friends and family, religion, education, finances, employment and health.
Diagnosis of Substance or Alcohol Use Disorder
GreeneStone specialists will diagnose substance and/or alcohol use disorders to determine the best course of action for your recovery.
