Admissions Process.

The first step on your journey to recovery is contacting EDCare to schedule a free, confidential assessment for our program and ask any immediate questions you may have regarding treatment. Assessments generally take about one hour and can be done in person or over the phone if distance is an issue. During the assessment, you and one of our compassionate Admissions Clinicians will discuss your medical history, previous treatment, if any, and get to know you and your individual circumstances. This comprehensive assessment process not only helps us guide you to the most appropriate treatment option but, also allows us to put together a treatment team tailored to your individual needs.
