How to get started
The first step is to call and schedule an appointment through our intake department or visit us during our walk-in hours. Our Admissions Coordinators will help determine your eligibility, make your initial appointment, or direct you to the appropriate provider for emergency needs. If you report or indicate that you are experiencing an acute crisis during your initial contact, our Admissions Coordinator may connect you with 911 or 988 to ensure your safety.
Eligibility
To be eligible for any of our services you must be 18 years or older, with a mental health or addiction need. The cost of services can be covered by private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or self-pay. AM Behavioral Health staff will support you in determining payment options for treatment.

Intake Process
The intake process for placement can take up to 3 hours; please bring your ID card, insurance card, proof of income, or any other requested documents.

Upon admission you will be oriented to our programs and staff.
