We realize that making the decision to seek treatment for an eating disorder, whether it's you or a loved one, can be extremely difficult. Our goal is to make the admission process to our center uncomplicated yet thorough. Below are several important steps in our admission process.
- Free Initial Consultation by phone
- Insurance verification/Financial arrangements
- Medical Clearance
The Center for Discovery is a residential treatment center able to provide medical care for most adolescents with eating disorders who are declared stable by a physician. However, we are not a medical hospital with 24-hour medical staff. Our Medical Director meets with the residents for an initial examination and subsequently meets with residents weekly. Therefore, it is extremely important that we find out prior to admission if an individual is appropriate for our facility or if they require a higher level of care, such as a medical hospital.
The following form will be faxed to your child's medical doctor:
Medical Screening form:
This is a three-page document to be filled out by the child's personal physician when the child goes for an examination. This form requires the doctor to fill out the appropriate information and attach the required tests and then fax the information to our Medical Director to review. Intake will discuss with the parents whether the child was medically cleared for admission.
- We will also assist you in any way we can with flight information, local hotels and other such information.
