Intake + Assessment
The first step on your recovery journey
Our approach to care is based on choice: we give people options, not orders. Our comprehensive, individualized services are designed to meet people where they are on their road to recovery.
Not sure where to start?
We can help.
Our services are designed to meet people where they are on their road to health + healing. We offer intake services for Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services, Outpatient Therapy, Outpatient Services for Substance Use Concerns, and our Youth and Family programs. If you’re not sure what service is best for you, don’t worry – there is no wrong door for entry.
Helpful Items To Gather + Bring To Your Intake
Please bring as many of these items as possible:
- Insurance card
- Photo ID
- List of medications
- List of medical conditions, including a mental health diagnosis if you have one
How Payment Works
One of our favorite things to say is that we never turn anyone away for lack of insurance or ability to pay.

Our fees or sliding scale
If you are enrolled in one of Places for People’s outpatient programs, a variety of payment and coverage options are available for individuals who might not have insurance or who might need assistance determining his or her coverage options. Other options include grant enrollment, as well as a sliding fee scale payment based on annual income. Payment concerns can be discussed and a coverage option can be determined based upon all of the resources for which you are eligible.
