Our Seamless Admissions Process
We aim to provide clients with critical healing as quickly as possible. Clients and providers can expect a thoughtful, supportive experience designed to simplify and expedite access to treatment.
Understanding Admissions
Admissions refers to the intake process of being admitted to attend a mental health program, whether residential or outpatient. With AMFM Healthcare, our admissions process is designed to be painless and straightforward, with human connection at the forefront of the process, while assessing your needs and determining the appropriate treatment plan.
The admissions team will serve as a guiding hand and touchpoint in your mental health recovery journey. Whether you’re looking for Residential Treatment, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), the admissions process is designed to make this transition easy and comfortable, without meeting you with any shame.
Talking to our admissions team is completely free of charge.
Getting to Know Each Other
Our compassionate admissions team is available 24/7, including weekends, to provide support whenever it’s needed. Through initial phone consultations, rapid insurance verification, and clinical assessments, we help make the transition into care as smooth and supportive as possible.
We take the time to get to know each potential patient so we can better understand what they’re experiencing and the support they may need. During this process, we’ll discuss their goals, concerns, and treatment needs while answering any questions about admissions and care at AMFM Healthcare.

Insurance & Payment Options
Mental health treatment is an investment in ongoing quality of life. At AMFM Healthcare, we accept most types of private insurance, work with many PPO providers, and offer a variety of payment options. We also can work on single-case agreements with insurance providers. We will help verify your insurance coverage for mental health benefits and help determine any out of pocket costs.
Costs will vary based on level of care received, amount of coverage, and deductible details. We will go through that with patients in detail.
We are in-network with many insurance providers and work with many more. Don’t see your provider listed? Check your insurance coverage instantly.
If we are not an appropriate provider for your care needs, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
Pre-Treatment Assessment
We will go through a comprehensive clinical assessment with our potential patients, and potentially their family if needed. This assessment includes interviews with our intake specialists, where we’ll discuss mental health history, current symptoms, and any other issues. Our goal is to understand the circumstances that brought the patient to us so we can tailor the treatment plan to best support recovery.

Conditions We Treat
We offer the full continuum of care from residential all the way through outpatient services for teens and adults. We treat many conditions with tailored programs to suit the individual patient. Below is a list of some of the conditions we treat.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Our clinical team will carefully review the information gathered during the previous steps to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We will walk you through our recommendations, including the appropriate level of care, therapeutic approaches, and available support services. If residential treatment is recommended, we will also provide a clear overview of what to expect during your stay. This includes information about daily schedules, treatment activities, program expectations, and any preparations you should make before admission.
Residential Mental Health Treatment (RTC)
AMFM Healthcare currently offers residential treatment for adults through A Mission for Michael (AMFM Treatment) in California, Virginia, and Minnesota, and for adolescents through Mission Prep in California and Virginia.
As the highest level of care offered by AMFM Healthcare, residential treatment provides 24/7 clinical support in a safe, structured, and home-like environment. Clients live onsite while participating in individualized treatment designed to support lasting healing and recovery.
Outpatient Mental Health Treatment (IOP & PHP)
Mission Connection provides comprehensive outpatient mental health care for adults and teens ages 12-17 who need more support than traditional weekly therapy. With treatment options available in California, Virginia, and Washington, we offer flexible programming tailored to each client’s unique needs and schedule.
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) provides structured mental health treatment for at least 15 hours per week. Programming includes individual therapy, group therapy, experiential therapies, and medication management when needed. Adults can access IOP through in-person and/or virtual treatment options, while teens ages 12-17 can participate in specialized virtual programming.
Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) provides a more intensive level of care than IOP while serving as a step down from residential treatment. Adult clients participate in programming for six hours per day, five days per week, through in-person and/or virtual options. Unlike residential care, PHP delivers intensive clinical support without requiring overnight stays. Supportive housing may be available for clients traveling to receive care.
