You can start today.
There's no waiting list to make a phone call. Here's exactly what happens, start to finish.
Three steps
What happens, start to finish.
Call us
Tell us your name and what's going on. This first call takes about five minutes. Nothing you say disqualifies you.
Talk with our intake team
A longer conversation, in person or by phone. We'll ask about your history, your health, and any legal or custody situations, so we can tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Come in
If it's a fit, we set an intake date and tell you what to bring.
You've read the steps. The next one is a phone call.
