We know how challenging it can be to choose the right treatment center for your teen. At Ohio Center for Adolescent Wellness, we’re here to make the admissions process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From your first call to enrollment, our dedicated admissions team will guide you through every step, answering your questions and helping you feel confident in your decision.
How It Works
The admissions process begins with a call to our admissions team. During this initial conversation, we’ll gather clinical and demographic information to determine how we can best support your teen. This process typically starts with parents or guardians providing details about their adolescent’s challenges and needs.
If your teen is currently receiving care from another treatment provider or has been recently hospitalized, we may request clinical records to ensure we fully understand their situation. These records may include:
- Psychiatric evaluations
- History and physical exams
- Psycho-social histories
- Clinical notes from current or recent treatment programs
- A list of current medications (with dosage and frequency)
Once our admissions team has reviewed this information, we’ll determine whether our programs are the right fit for your teen. If not, we’ll provide clear reasons and offer recommendations for other treatment options that may better meet their needs.
Admission Criteria
Our primary goal is to provide effective, individualized care. To ensure your teen can benefit from our treatment methods, they must meet the following criteria:
- Be between 13 and 17 years old
- Have a diagnosed mental health condition
- Be medically and psychiatrically stable
- Be free of major medical conditions
- Be able to participate in treatment programming and services
- Engage in social interactions with staff supervision
If you’re unsure whether your teen meets these criteria, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our admissions team is here to help assess their needs and explore the best treatment options.
Free Insurance Verification
Worried about the cost of care? We offer free insurance verification to help families understand their coverage and navigate financial considerations. Our team will work with you to explore all available options, so you can focus on what matters most—your teen’s well-being.
