FAQs
Admissions at Magnolia Creek
What should I expect when I call Magnolia Creek to inquire about treatment?
When a potential client or family member reaches out, a member of our admissions team will gather the following information:
- Basic demographic information (name, age, phone number, and location)
- Current symptoms and behaviors, as well as any recent events that prompted your call
- Any current or recent treatment experiences
- Immediate risk factors, such as self-harming behaviors, suicidal thoughts, aggression or violence, substance use concerns, and medical issues
If our admissions expert identifies an immediate safety or health risk, they may recommend seeking emergency services or a higher level of acute care.
After providing an overview of our residential treatment and partial hospitalization programs, our team will answer any additional questions you may have about treatment and programming. If you’re interested in moving forward, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, share an estimated cost of care, and schedule an intake assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care. For local callers, we’re happy to arrange a tour of our campus.
How will Magnolia Creek determine what level of care I need?
What can I bring to treatment?
We recommend bringing a limited amount of clothing and personal items and leaving valuables at home. Clients may bring two small suitcases or one large suitcase. Each individual is provided with a bed, dresser, closet space, hangers, linens, towels, internet-connected computers, and phones with long-distance access. A bedside table is also available to store small valuables securely.
Clients in our residential program do not have access to their cell phones during treatment, but will regain access once they transition to the partial hospitalization program (PHP). Please bring your phone charger, as it will be needed during PHP.
Household items, including soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and laundry detergent, are provided during residential treatment. PHP clients are responsible for purchasing their household supplies and any food consumed during non-program hours.
As Magnolia Creek is a community living environment, we take cleanliness and safety seriously. All clothing, pillows, and blankets brought from home will be dried on a hot setting for 30 minutes upon arrival. Items that cannot go through the dryer must be sealed in a separate bag and stored for 24 hours. Please also bring a change of clothes, as the outfit you arrive in will be put through the dryer.
Other items to bring:
- Identification card (e.g., driver’s license), insurance card, pharmacy card, and a credit card (required by Turenne Pharmaceuticals for medication expenses)
- Prescription medications in original containers (at least a 7-day supply)
- Over-the-counter medications in sealed, unopened packaging
- Up to $200 in spending money for personal items (not needed for adolescent clients)
- Stamps, envelopes, cards, books, and music, including portable devices and chargers
- Seasonal clothing: tennis shoes, sunglasses, a lightweight jacket or sweater (warm months), a heavy coat or jacket (cooler months), and modest clothing for religious outings if desired
- Tobacco use: Cigarettes are allowed during designated smoke breaks. Only sealed tobacco products are permitted; opened or unsealed items will be discarded or stored in luggage. Vape pens, e-cigarettes, and other tobacco products are not allowed.
What should I expect on my first day?
Upon arrival, you’ll meet with a member of our admissions team to complete paperwork, receive a client handbook, and get a welcome bag with therapeutic books and a Magnolia Creek t-shirt. A therapist will then meet with you to assess for suicide and safety risks and help develop a personalized safety plan.
When does therapy begin, and what kind of therapy is it?
Therapy begins early in your stay with a focus on creating a collaborative, individualized recovery plan. Our holistic program addresses medical, nutritional, psychological, spiritual, and behavioral needs.
Initially, you’ll meet with nursing staff, a psychiatrist, your primary therapist, a dietitian, and a family therapist to complete assessments and identify your therapeutic goals. As these assessments conclude, your treatment plan begins to take shape. You will then participate in daily psychoeducation and process groups tailored to your needs.
