Taking the decision to seek treatment is the first step towards recovery. However, going for treatment in an international location can be stressful. Here, in an attempt to simplify the process, we have listed the main points of the admission process, to enable you to understand what we expect from you as a patient and what you can expect from us.
- After the initial distress and guidance call, one of our counsellors will call you to help understand your personal, medical and mental/substance abuse history in greater detail.
- This call will help our therapists begin to develop a suitable and customized treatment plan that caters to your unique requirements.
- We advise you to disclose any medical conditions at the outset of our discussion. Further, we suggest that you submit all current medical reports in advance of your arrival to allow our staff enough time to prepare for your stay.
- We recommend that you get the RTPCR test done and submit the negative report (not older than 72 hours) in advance of your arrival at the facility for safety reasons.
- When you arrive at Athena, a comprehensive health check up will be conducted at the facility.
