Admissions Line: 434-477-5000

The Admissions department is the primary contact for all new clients. We offer evidenced-based assessments which guide individuals and families to make informed choices about their care. The employees of our admissions department have strong partnerships with other community partners, which ensure a seamless referral process for clients who require services outside of our existing portfolio of services.

Clients in the Lynchburg/Campbell/Amherst/Appomattox areas can be seen at the Horizon Wellness Center @ Langhorne - 2215 Langhorne Road.
*Same Day Assessment: Hours are 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
*Assessment by Appointment: Initial assessments can also be done by appointment. Please call the Admissions Line above for more information.

Clients in Bedford can be seen at the Horizon Wellness Center @ Bedford – 1409 Ole Dominion Blvd, Bedford, VA
*Same Day Assessment: Hours are 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Monday and Tuesday ONLY.

There are five parts to our comprehensive clinical assessment process:

Client meets with reception/administrative assistant to start collection of basic contact information.
Client meets with a member of our financial intake team to review insurance information. If a client does not have insurance, the ability to pay scale is utilized. If the client is under 18, additional funding may be available and will be reviewed.
Client meets with a clinician to complete the clinical intake, which is a comprehensive mental health and substance use diagnostic evaluation, to open the client to services at the agency.
The process may take up to 4 hours, but all steps do not have to be completed in the same day.
Once the intake process is complete, the client will receive follow up appointments, as well as emergency contact information if needed.

When you are ready for services, please bring a picture ID, social security card, insurance card (we accept all insurances) and proof of income (pay check stub, W-2, SSI, unemployment, etc.). Please also bring any guardianship documentation if that applies.
