The Admissions Process
at The Garden
Located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, The Garden Recovery & Wellness operates as a boutique outpatient center that blends high-end surroundings with clinically sophisticated, whole-person care.
Its admissions pathway is intentionally streamlined for working professionals, parents, and students who cannot simply step away from daily obligations.
From the initial private inquiry to the moment treatment begins, each step is designed to be both seamless and discreet, allowing individuals to start care without upending their routines or sense of privacy.
OUR APPROACH
Why a Thoughtful Admissions Path Matters
Because The Garden’s programs are outpatient, clients can maintain their jobs, attend classes, and fulfill family duties while engaging in high-intensity therapy tracks that meet several times a week.
During intake, admissions specialists listen closely, verify insurance, and match each person with the most appropriate level of care before a single session begins.
The Garden maintains personal health details in a secure location, adhering strictly to HIPAA rules. On-site case managers also jump in to handle FMLA forms or court paperwork, so jobs stay protected and legal worries stay off clients’ shoulders. With those stressors covered, individuals can put their energy where it belongs—on healing.
Step-by-Step Admissions Timeline
Below is the typical pathway The Garden follows—from the very first inquiry to preparing each client for life after treatment—so families know exactly what will happen next.
Initial Contact & Assessment
Phone, email, or web inquiry connects a person with an admissions specialist.
Specialists listen, gather a comprehensive history, and conduct a thorough clinical assessment to identify immediate needs.
01
Insurance Verification & Payment Review
Team explains out-of-network coverage, verifies benefits, and outlines private-pay options.
Eligibility checks maximize insurance
02
Personalized Treatment Plan
Clinicians design either an addiction track or an integrated dual diagnosis plan.
Every plan is fully individualized, matching therapies and level of care to the assessment results.
03
Start Date & Orientation
The client receives a program schedule; Partial Care, IOP, or OP begins on the agreed-upon start date.
Admissions confirms the level of care and signals, “Let the healing begin.”
04
Aftercare Mapping
Discharge planners create an alumni and resource roadmap before treatment ends.
Ongoing therapy, alumni events, and community connections ensure that skills acquired in treatment carry over into daily life.
05
Get Connected
Prospective clients, families, and referents are invited to contact the admissions desk by phone or submit the secure contact form. A specialist quickly verifies benefits, schedules an assessment, and provides a precise start date, allowing each individual to heal deeply, live fully, and start fresh.
Payment & Insurance Options
The Garden partners with every private insurance plan on an out-of-network basis, allowing most people to access the benefits they already have. Admissions staff conduct a quick benefits check, secure any necessary authorizations, and clearly outline copays or deductibles upfront, ensuring there are no surprises. If someone would rather skip insurance altogether, a clear-cut private-pay option eliminates the paperwork and allows them to set a start date as soon as they’re ready.
Confidentiality, Job Protection & Legal Support
Strict HIPAA-compliant systems protect personal health information, minimizing the risk that employers or outside parties will be notified of care. On-site case managers guide clients through FMLA applications and assist with court-related documentation, ensuring that legal and workplace obligations can be met without interrupting treatment progress.
