This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
Jeremiah 6:16 NIV
What will it cost? It’s difficult when a loved one you care about is in the depths of substance abuse or mental health struggles, and you aren’t sure if the right treatment is affordable. Thankfully, we accept a wide range of insurance plans, and our admissions coordinators will take the time to verify your benefits, work out any financial obligations, and work out authorization with your insurance on your behalf. If your teenager is a good fit for our treatment philosophy both clinically and medically, we’ll do all we can to make sure financials are not a barrier to receiving care.
