Admissions Process

The process at MCAW begins with a call to our Admissions Team at 855.940.6229. During this call, our knowledgeable and supportive Admissions Team will obtain the pertinent clinical and demographic information to begin the assessment process. Typically, parents or legal guardians will make the first call to our team and provide the details about their adolescent.

If the candidate for admission is currently at another treatment facility or has recently been hospitalized, we may request that certain records be forwarded for clinical review:

• Most recent psychiatric evaluation
• Most recent history and physical
• Most recent psycho-social history
• Most recent clinical notes (if currently in a treatment program)
• List of current medications, including dosage and frequency
• Other clinical or educational records that may be useful

Once the clinical information has been reviewed by our admissions team, a determination of viability is given. For those adolescents who are not accepted for treatment, a reason for the denial is provided, and recommendations for other adolescent treatment options.
