We know your pain and we are here to guide you, as you are looking for the best place to help your loved one or a friend in their healing journey.

Please carefully review the Pre-Qualifications Criteria, before you fill out the form. It will answer a number of key questions.

Fresh Start Intake Pre-Qualification Criteria

Once they want to get better, we can work with them. Healing involves work & openness.

YOUR ACTION: Before you inquire, please ask them to review the website and let you know if they are interested. Ask their permission to inquire on their behalf. NO PRESSURE, please. Your goal is to get a feel for this place before he/she will be speaking with us.

We regularly work with family/friends and it’s amazing to guide your loved ones/friends, through their gradual healing journey.

Ideally, after they’ve read through the site, encourage them to fill out the form “I need help for Myself.” It is the first step to healing, and we’ll still need to talk with them to pre-qualify. Believe in their healing and gently guide them on their journey.

You may be the one who’s helping financially or organizing travel but it is ultimately their healing journey. Empower them to take initiative. We won’t be pushing them to instantly register.

Individuals in very unstable or psychotic state: unable to participate in group activities or be in the group environment (those who lash out on others, or may get easily triggered and become confrontational – and not able to control their actions or words).

Attending against their will: we accept only those guests that are ready to work on their own health and come to Fresh Start of their own will.

Individuals with mental disabilities: Alzheimer’s, dementia, autistic.

Fresh Start is not a Rehab or a Mental Health Treatment Center. There is a time and place for these facilities.

Though many of our guests receive wonderful results, Fresh Start cannot guarantee health recovery from any specific disease or symptom, or degree of its improvement, as the healing process is individual, gradual, multi-layered, and depends on many factors. Please be realistic in expectations as there is no such thing as quick fixes when it comes to healing.
