Family Centered Mental Health Treatment, Therapy, and Counseling Program

At AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers, we have fine-tuned our admission process to be direct and efficient. This allows us to properly assess your mental health and possible coexisting conditions. While there may be small variations among our different facilities, some of the key steps in our admission process include:

• Initial Contact: The first step is to reach out for help. After contacting us, we will ask for your contact information, and for a brief overview of your psychological health symptoms.
• Assessment and Evaluation: We will then schedule you for an assessment that evaluates the presence of mental health and concurrent disorders. This helps us determine which treatment approaches can help you find emotional balance.
• Insurance Verification and Coverage: We will verify your insurance if you’re planning to use your coverage. We will inquire about your copayments, deductibles, limitations, and required prior authorizations. This allows you to make an informed decision about treatment while being mindful of the financial expectations.
• Treatment Plan Development: We will then develop your personalized treatment plan and incorporate appropriate inclusive family interventions.
• Admissions Coordination: Once the necessary paperwork is complete, we can then schedule your admission. In some cases, we can provide assistance in planning your travel to our residential treatment facilities.
• Orientation and Program Introduction: Upon arrival, our clinical team will provide you with a brief tour and orientation so you can become familiarized with your surroundings. We will also provide you with a treatment schedule.
• Active Participation in Treatment: Once you have completed the admission process, you can begin attending treatment as of schedule and working to improve your mental well-being.
• Progress Monitoring and Adjustments: Throughout the duration of treatment, our treatment providers will continuously monitor your progress. We will make adjustments when needed to ensure that you can receive the mental well-being support you need.

If you’re looking for short-term or long-term family-centered mental health facilities, we encourage you to thoroughly explore your treatment options. There are various approaches that could be used to provide you with mental well-being support. Try using the following steps to find your ideal family-focused therapy provider:

• Online Search Engines: Begin by using popular search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Enter phrases like “Family-centered mental health facility near me” or “Mental health family-centered programs near me in Seattle.” This should generate a list of local behavioral health treatment programs.
• Mental Health Directories: Look through mental health directories and databases that list treatment facilities. Try using websites like Psychology Today, SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), and Mental Health America. These sources often have directories or search tools to find facilities for mental health and dual diagnosis treatment options.
• Insurance Provider’s Website: If you’re looking to use health insurance, check your providers’ website for a directory of in-network mental health treatment providers. This can help you narrow down your list of potential mental wellness programs.
• Referrals from Healthcare Professionals: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, psychiatrist, therapist, or other healthcare professionals. You can talk about your current behavioral health concerns and your treatment goals. They should be able to provide you with a list of local providers who may offer behavioral family interventions.
• Local Mental Health Organizations: Reach out to your local mental health organizations and advocacy groups. They will likely have insights into local providers who offer treatment options like strengths-based family therapy or systematic family support.
