Intake process, clients are often court ordered to this facility, however a court order is not necessary. If your loved one is already waiting in jail then they will have to wait for a"bed" to open. which can take as long as 3 months. Intake process, is done with the facilitator, upon arrival to the center, then client is given a counselor, where a history is done, drug history, family history, and a plan is reached with client and counselor. Otherwise I believe a person can fill out the forms on the computer if they wish to attend the therapeutic community, you will have AA and NA meetings come in from the outside until you are in the group which can leave the facility. And there are daily "group meetings" .
There’s an Orlando facility for men. Clients are courts ordered into this facility. It can take anywhere from 3-6 months for a bed to be available! I personally waited 4 months. Every case is different and every county is different. If the client is on drug court then they have a better chance in getting a “bed” faster
