At Amity Behavioral Health, we believe the first step toward addiction recovery should be clear, supportive, and free of unnecessary barriers. That’s why our rehab admissions process is designed to guide you or your loved one into treatment with dignity, understanding, and ease. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or on behalf of someone you love, our team ensures that every question is answered and every detail is handled with care.

The journey begins with a simple call or online inquiry. When you contact our admissions team, you’ll be greeted by compassionate professionals who understand the courage it takes to ask for help. This first conversation is never rushed. We’ll take the time to listen to your story, answer your questions, and explain the treatment options available at our San Diego, Huntington Beach and Palm Beach locations.
Step 2: Confidential Assessment
Before entering treatment, we conduct a thorough and confidential assessment. This step allows us to understand the full scope of your needs, including:
-
Substance use history and patterns
-
Co-occurring mental health conditions
-
Medical background
-
Lifestyle and recovery goals
This information helps us recommend the most appropriate level of care, whether it’s addiction detox, partial hospitalization (PHP), or intensive outpatient programming (IOP). Our goal is to ensure you receive the right care from day one.


Step 3: Insurance Verification & Payment Options
Financial concerns should never stand in the way of starting recovery. Our admissions specialists work directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits and explain coverage. For those without insurance, we offer self-pay options and can help explore financing solutions. By clarifying costs upfront, you’ll know exactly what to expect—no hidden surprises, just transparency and support.

Step 4: Personalized Treatment Planning
Once financial arrangements are set, our clinical team creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Because every journey is different, this plan may include:
-
Medical addiction detox with 24/7 monitoring
-
Medication-assisted treatment (when appropriate)
-
Evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, or trauma-focused care
-
Family therapy and involvement
-
Aftercare planning for long-term success
This customized approach ensures that your treatment aligns with your personal goals and challenges.


Step 5: Seamless Rehab Admission & Arrival
From the moment you arrive at Amity Behavioral Health, our team is ready to welcome you with compassion and respect. We guide you through the intake process, introduce you to your care team, and ensure you feel safe and supported.
Step 6: Beginning Your Recovery Journey
Once admitted, you’ll begin treatment immediately. Our structured yet flexible programs are built to provide stability while also addressing the personal aspects of your healing. You’ll have access to therapy, peer support, wellness activities, and relapse-prevention education from the very start.

Family Support Throughout the Process
Addiction doesn’t just affect individuals—it affects families. That’s why our admissions process includes communication and support for loved ones. Families are kept informed, guided through what to expect, and encouraged to participate in therapy sessions and educational workshops when appropriate.
