For an addict, returning to a healthy and sober
life is not an easy task. It takes patience,
commitment, and most importantly, the support and
dedication of an appropriate drug rehabilitation
program. One of the processes by which these
institutions treat addiction is through drug
rehab intake.

Care Coordination and Check-in
  • Care coordinators are responsible for creating a
    rapport between the patient, staff and overall
    treatment.
  • Usually includes a tour of the rehab facility,
    overview of treatment, being assigned to a room,
    and a warm welcome by the staff.
