ADMISSIONS
ACADIA is committed to providing personalized, comprehensive
and flexible programs and services which meet the specific
needs of each participant. The emphasis on individualization
and continuity of care enables individuals to move through
the program at their own pace. The appropriate continuum
of care is identified at the time of referral and continues
throughout ACADIA's programming. Each potential individual
is carefully assessed to determine whether or not enrollment
at ACADIA is appropriate and if so, what type of services
will be needed. Duration of programming will vary depending
on the needs of the individual and availability of funding.
To benefit from the services offered at ACADIA,
all individuals should meet the following basic guidelines:
- Be 18 years of age or older for residential
services
- Be 14 years of age or older for Comprehensive
Day Treatment (enhanced outpatient) services.
- Have a neurological disorder that impacts
on physical, cognitive, behavioral, social or vocational
functioning.
- Be medically stable and not require 24-hour

- Be psychiatrically stable
- Not be actively using alcohol or other related

behaviors that can be disruptive to the care of others receiving

Additional information and detail on admission
criteria are available upon request.
People are generally referred to ACADIA through
a hospital case manager/discharge planner, physician, psychologist
or other healthcare/human service provider, however, referrals
may come from the family, schools and other state and local
community providers. Referrals and ongoing communications
can be coordinated through our Intake Coordinator. An initial
screening can be scheduled to help determine if ACADIA’s
services are needed and appropriate.
