It is necessary that legal releases be completed in their entirety before a resident is admitted for in-patient treatment. Requests from agencies for follow-up on residents without releases cannot be honored. With our Criminal Justice System Release legal agents will be informed in writing the resident's primary counselor, admit date, discharge date, and aftercare notices. If the referral is involved with any of the following list of legal agencies a legal release must be filled out.

9.  Legal Mandate Letter
10.  Drug Court
11  District Attorney

On each release, the name of the person, title, agency, address, and phone number is necessary to complete the form. No white-out is permitted. Corrections must have one line through the mistake and initialed.
