Admissions
Admission Information for SageWalk, a Program for Troubled Teen Youth, Children with ADHD and Other Behavior Problems
Acceptance of a child with a behavior problem into the SageWalk program for troubled teen youth is based upon several factors: current behavior and problems, behavioral and medical history, psychological information, and school history. Our admissions process is designed to be as simple as possible, without sacrificing the detail that is necessary to determine the appropriateness of SageWalk to treat your children with ADHD or your teenager’s adolescent behavior problem. All potential admissions are initially reviewed by admissions personnel, and assessed by our clinical team.
The first step in the admissions process is to determine whether your child is exhibiting the behaviors of a typical child or one of our teenage behavior problem cases at SageWalk. Please take a few moments to review this list. Is SageWalk Right for My Child?
Does this sound like your child? Are they dealing with these types of problems?
Then take a moment to review our list of exclusions. If your child has any of the problems on this list, we are not the appropriate program for your child. List of Exclusions
The next step in this process is to complete the application for enrollment. All questions must be answered before the clinical team will accept an application for review. You may either fill the form out online or print out a copy and mail it in.

Parents will then be asked to submit further information, such as a copy of a psychological evaluation/testing, or school records, to address any specific adolescent development and behavioral or educational concerns. Keep in mind that we want to insure that your child will benefit from our program. Typically, once we have received sufficient information, an enrollment decision can be made within 24-hours.
A physical health examination will be administered upon arrival to SageWalk. If you have concerns regarding your child's ability to pass the required physical exam, you may have one done by your physician before admittance. However, it is a SageWalk requirement to have one performed by our approved physician upon arrival, in addition to the one your physician has completed.

Insurance Coverage
Although SageWalk does not work directly with insurance companies, most mental health plans do cover portions of the therapeutic and/or chemical dependency portions of the SageWalk program. Parents or guardians are solely responsible for pursuing reimbursement through his/her provider. Upon graduation, SageWalk can provide an itemized therapeutic billing statement with the diagnostic codes that insurance companies require. If you have any questions regarding insurance coverage, please contact your provider directly.
