The first step is to call the Drake Institute. If, after a brief telephone screening we determine we can help you an appointment for a consultation/orientation will be made to further answer the question of can we help you. If yes, then an appointment for an evaluation/screening and the initial appointment will be made. You should be ready to start care at that time, unless of course after all the information we have gathered we find we can’t help you. The eval/screen is mostly information about how to best start care and construct the full Treatment plan.
