  • Agree to adhere to all policies and procedures of El Pueblo

 Referral Process

  1. Contact Admissions Department at 719 404-1107 to ascertain availability and potential length of wait for opening.
  2. A Referral Packet will be required, which consists of the following:

·        Documentation of current problems that bring about the need for day treatment services

·        Family and Social History to include:

a.       previous treatment and/or placements, if applicable

b.      previous response to treatment, if applicable

·        High School Transcripts

·        Individualized Education Plan, if applicable

·        Copies of the youth’s birth certificate, social security card, immunization record and record of last school attended will be required prior to actual admission.

  1. Day Treatment Admissions Team will review the material to conduct a preliminary assessment of presenting problems regarding substance use/abuse, social, physical health, mental health, psychological concerns, education, and any concerns about assaultive or destructive behavior.

The youth’s motivation and ability to benefit from the treatment program are also assessed. If it is determined that El Pueblo is the least restrictive setting and appropriate to meet the youth’s needs, the Admissions Officer will contact the referring person and inform them of the youth’s acceptance or non-acceptance into the program within 48 hours of receipt of the additional referral information. Possible admission dates will be identified at that time. The Admissions Officer will mail admission consents and releases required for intake to the parent(s) of the youth to facilitate a smooth intake process
