Admissions

Christian Rehab Admissions, Step by Step

Reaching out is the hardest part, and you don’t have to know what to say. Here is exactly what happens after you call or text us, with no pressure and no commitment.

How it works

Six steps from your first call to your first morning

  1. A private conversation

    Call or text us. A real person listens first, answers your questions and never pushes. Nothing you share obligates you.

  2. Insurance and payment

    We look at your coverage or payment options together, so cost is clear before any decision.

  3. A private assessment

    A confidential conversation about what you or your loved one is facing, so we understand the whole picture.

  4. The right level of care

    We recommend the safest next step: detox, residential or another level, at Shepard & Stone or through a trusted partner.

  5. Scheduling your arrival

    We set a date and help with travel, including from out of state, so arriving is simple.

  6. Orientation and your plan

    You meet the house, the staff and your treatment plan. From day one you are known by name.

Step one takes a few minutes.

Truth from the first call

What we promise, and what we won’t

Shepard & Stone was founded against an industry that lost track of what matters. So we tell you up front.

We promise

  • To answer honestly, even when the answer is “not yet”
  • To listen before we recommend anything
  • To help you find safe care, even if it isn’t at Shepard & Stone
  • To treat you and your family with respect and love

We won’t promise

  • Admission before the assessment is complete
  • Insurance approval before your benefits are verified
  • A bed on a specific date before scheduling
  • Outcomes: recovery is a walk we take with you
Coming from out of state

Distance can be part of the healing

Many people recover best away from the places and people tied to their using. Shepard & Stone plans to welcome residents from across the country, and we’ll help you and your family plan the trip.

How families can help
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6–7 · ESV
Questions

Straight answers

If your question isn’t here, call or text us. We’ll tell you the truth, even when it’s “not yet.”

Yes. Parents, spouses, friends, pastors and treatment providers call us often. We’ll walk you through how to help.

Can I come from out of state?

Yes. Shepard & Stone plans to welcome residents from outside Southern California, and we help with travel planning.
