The first step to get started is to complete a comprehensive assessment. The assessment will recommend an appropriate level of care for treatment. If you have had an assessment completed elsewhere, you may have it sent/faxed over for review. If Living Free Recovery Services identifies the referral as appropriate, you will be contacted by staff to schedule a start date. You will be required to complete an orientation session prior to attending your first group session.
