After this form is received and reviewed the potential client or his/her family member will be contacted to arrange for a personal interview.
It is recommended that the prospective client and any family members who wish to accompany the client, plan to visit the program for a few hours.
- This will provide ample time for the assessment and a tour of Sanctuary House, and/or
- The Arlington Day Treatment Center, our outpatient program.
For Sanctuary House:
After the personal interview is completed SPCSB’s Clinical Director will review the referral form and completed assessment with our Medical Director.
This process usually takes 5 working days. At this point, SPCSB will contact the client and/or his/her family member to discuss the results of the assessment.
Should SPCSB and the potential client feel that Sanctuary House is a good fit the client will be placed on a waiting list for the next available opening.
For The Arlington Day Treatment Center:
After the personal interview is completed the ADTC Program Director will review the referral form and completed assessment with our Clinical Director.
