Getting
Started
Your journey of recovery starts with a phone call to Walker Recovery Center or
by stopping by the facility to make an appointment. All meetings, interviews,
and other communication between treatment professionals and the patients are
strictly confidential so you can get all the facts to see if Methadone Treatment
is right for you.
The First Step
Screening may be completed over the phone or by a visit to the clinic.
The next step is to schedule an appointment with the medical director.
Once the patient is admitted, the staff performs a triage to get the patient's
Drug History, PsycoSocial and family histories, the legal history and the resulting
output of this session will be a comprehensive assessment of the patient's life.
The Next Step
The Next Step - Make an appointment for intake, which includes an appointment
with the medical director, nursing staff and client's assigned counselor. The
intake appointment involves obtaining a psychosocial history, medical history
and a physical exam.
The counselor will provide:
- Individual sessions
- Family counseling
- Referrals such as additional counseling, referrals to other healthcare professionals,
legal assistance or other local resources.
