Admitting a Patient

We believe that alcohol and drug addiction is a life threatening, but highly treatable disease.

Glenbeigh admits patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  An experienced staff member is always available to take your call and provide information regarding our services or assist with an admission.  After completing the  screening process, the staff will recommend a course of action most appropriate for you.  Appointments for outpatient assessments or admission for inpatient services can be made at this time. 

Transportation assistance is available upon request.

Glenbeigh works with over 60 managed care companies and also has self pay options available.  Our business office specialists can speak to your insurance company and verify benefits prior to admissions.  Financial arrangements for co-payments and deductibles can be made with Glenbeigh’s business office personnel.

The length of time you will be at Glenbeigh depends on individual need.  Each patient is assessed daily to determine appropriateness of transitioning to a lower level of care.

Anyone can make a referral to Glenbeigh. In order to schedule a confidential assessment or make arrangements for admission, call 1.800.234.1001.  We are waiting to take your call. If you would like to receive information via e-mail or be contacted by an intake specialist, please complete the Inquiry Form.
