Help with Mental Health
Finding Help with Mental Health is a Brave and Important Decision
Making the choice to seek help for yourself is one of the most courageous and life-changing decisions you can make. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by mental health struggles, but reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Too often, people hesitate to seek treatment because they fear judgment, worry about the financial cost, or believe they should be able to fix things on their own. But healing doesn’t happen in isolation—true recovery starts with taking that first step toward professional care.
Acknowledging that you need help is powerful. It’s the moment when you take control of your life again. At The Wave of Edgewater, we understand that reaching out can feel intimidating, which is why we provide compassionate, judgment-free support from the very first call. We are here to walk beside you, offering guidance, encouragement, and expert care tailored to your unique journey.
What to Expect When You Call
Picking up the phone and reaching out for help can feel daunting, but knowing what to expect can make it easier. When you call The Wave of Edgewater, you will be met with kindness, understanding, and reassurance. Our admissions specialists are trained to provide support without pressure. This call is about you—your needs, your concerns, and your goals.
During your conversation, we’ll ask a few questions to get a better understanding of your situation. These questions may include:
- What challenges have you been facing?
- Have you been diagnosed with any mental health conditions?
- Are you currently using any substances?
- Have you sought treatment before?
- What kind of support system do you have?
Your answers help us determine the best course of treatment for you. If you’re not sure what you need, that’s okay—we’ll help you figure it out. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about treatment options, the facility, or what daily life in the program looks like.
Understanding the Admissions Process
Once you’ve decided to move forward, the admissions process begins. This step is designed to be as smooth as possible so you can focus on your recovery. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Assessment
Our clinical team will conduct a more detailed assessment to better understand your medical history, mental health status, and substance use history. This helps us create a treatment plan that is specifically designed for you.
2. Insurance and Payment Verification
We work with most major insurance providers and can help you determine what services are covered under your plan. If you don’t have insurance or need additional financial assistance, we can discuss alternative payment options.
3. Preparing for Admission
We will provide you with a checklist of what to bring, answer any last-minute questions, and help coordinate travel arrangements if needed. Our goal is to make the transition into treatment as seamless as possible.
4. Arrival and Welcome
When you arrive at The Wave of Edgewater, you’ll be greeted by our team, given a tour of the facility, and introduced to key staff members. You’ll receive an overview of your treatment plan and begin your journey toward healing in a safe and supportive environment.
Paying for Treatment
One of the biggest concerns many people have when considering treatment is cost. The financial aspect of rehab can feel overwhelming, but there are many options available to make treatment more accessible. At The Wave of Edgewater, we work with you to find the best way to afford care.
Insurance Coverage
Many insurance plans cover behavioral health treatment, including residential care, outpatient therapy, and medication-assisted treatment. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand what is covered under your policy.
Private Pay Options
For those who do not have insurance or prefer to pay privately, we offer flexible payment plans to make treatment manageable.
Financing and Assistance Programs
Some individuals qualify for financing options, grants, or scholarships that can help offset the cost of treatment. Our admissions team can help you explore these options to ensure financial concerns do not stand in the way of your recovery.
You Deserve Support and Healing
If you’re struggling, know that you don’t have to do this alone. Asking for help isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a declaration of your worth. Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and rediscover joy in life. The Wave of Edgewater is here to support you every step of the way, from the first call to long-term recovery.
There’s never a perfect time to seek treatment. Life will always be busy, and responsibilities will always be there. But your health, happiness, and future are worth prioritizing. The first step is the hardest, but once you take it, you open the door to a new beginning.
If you’re ready to start your recovery journey, call us today. We’re here, we’re ready, and we believe in you.
