The Garden operates out-of-network with all major insurers, and the admissions team verifies each individual’s benefits to help maximize out-of-network coverage. Individuals who prefer to forgo insurance can opt for a straightforward private-pay option. Either way, the admissions staff explains costs clearly so financial questions never distract from treatment.

Enrollment begins with a confidential assessment, conducted by phone, secure telehealth, or on-campus visit, during which an admissions clinician reviews the individual’s substance use history, current symptoms, and logistical needs.
Findings are immediately presented to an interdisciplinary panel of therapists, psychiatric providers, and case managers, who craft a tailored outpatient recovery plan that specifies therapy cadence, medication oversight, and measurable milestones.

Before services begin, clients attend a brief orientation where their schedules are fine-tuned to accommodate work, school, and family responsibilities, ensuring that attendance never jeopardizes their daily life. Most newcomers can transition into the program within days of their initial inquiry.

Discharge planning is integrated into treatment from the very beginning, ensuring that no client ever leaves without a safety net in place.

As clinical goals are met, staff outline a step-down timeline that may include alumni gatherings for peer mentorship, introductions to local 12-Step or SMART Recovery meetings, and periodic “booster” therapy sessions to reinforce coping skills.

When additional lifestyle support is beneficial, case managers arrange seamless referrals to nutritionists, primary care physicians, or reputable sober living facilities, coordinating handoffs to ensure continuity of care.

By mapping the next chapter early—and revisiting the plan throughout treatment—The Garden positions each graduate to sustain sobriety with confidence and continuity.
