How to Admit

From phone consultation to in-hospital evaluation and admission, learn how to prepare for each step.

Admission Process

First call, then in-person evaluation, then decide whether hospitalization is needed

The decision for hospitalization typically follows four steps: phone consultation to explain the situation → on-site physical and psychological evaluation → discussion of treatment plan and costs with the doctor → admission procedures and initiation of supervised treatment. Individuals with long-term heavy alcohol use should not abruptly stop drinking on their own. For inquiries, call 0371-65338120 first.
