WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAM ADMISSION

Our goal on day one is to help you acclimate to the program and become as comfortable as possible. The admissions process at NERC includes these steps:

To begin, you will meet with our admissions staff and a nurse at our Central Admissions Building who will complete the required paperwork.
Next, staff will conduct an initial assessment and perform a preliminary drug screening test.
Upon admission, the treatment program’s rules and expectations will be reviewed with you.
You’ll receive a tour of the facility including your assigned bedroom and be introduced to your roommate and other program staff.

Our knowledgeable and caring staff will help guide you throughout the admission process and answer any questions that may arise.

Those who require medically monitored detoxification will be assigned a case manager who will work with you to prepare for the next step in your recovery journey. Upon completion of the detoxification process, we strongly encourage that clients transition to our clinical stabilization program for continued treatment.

Once admitted to our clinical stabilization program, you’ll immediately be assigned a primary clinician who will be with you every step of the way. Each person’s situation and recovery journey are different. Therefore, your clinician will work with you to develop an individualized addiction treatment plan that incorporates your strengths and addresses your challenges.

With your consent, your clinician will also work with family members to further support your treatment. We strongly encourage family involvement during team meetings to discuss your current progress in treatment and continuing care plans.

In order to provide you with the highest quality of services, your clinician will incorporate additional qualified members of the interdisciplinary team such as our physician, nurse practitioner, registered nurses, licensed clinical social workers, licensed mental health clinicians, family engagement specialists, continuing care specialists and recovery specialists.
