Step 1 – First Step Survey

Taking the First Step helps our admissions staff determine whether we are the appropriate resource for your teen, and if not, helps us connect you with other options.

Your First Step will be reviewed typically within 2 to 3 business days and you will receive a call from someone in the Admissions Department to discuss the results.

Step 2 – Application & References

This is an information-gathering stage. We collect extensive background materials in order to enable our Treatment Team to determine if our program is an appropriate fit for your son.

The following types of information will be collected during this time.

• Youth Program Application
• Parent/Guardian Applications
• References
• Mental Health and Education Records
• $35 Application Fee
• Custody Documentation

The Admissions team will email you a link to the online application.

Step 3 – Fees and Expenses

Project Patch, with help from donors and staff, work to provide excellent and affordable services.

As you near completion of the application process, if needed, you will begin the financial aid application process. The Financial Aid Committee will determine the level of sliding scale based on your need and available donor support.

 Step 4 – Intake Interview/Admissions

Once the Treatment Team has reviewed the application and determined whether we are an appropriate fit for your son, the final step is scheduling an Intake Interview with the Admissions Department that will be held at the Youth Program.

• All necessary forms, packing lists, and instructions will be sent to you
• Parents bring their teen, the teen’s belongings, and ALL paperwork to the Youth Program
• Parents and the teen will participate in the Intake Interview and the Treatment Team will make a final determination of the teen’s appropriateness for the program.

If the teen is accepted, the teen immediately begins the program, and parents complete the final paperwork and place their teen at the program.
