Admissions and Referral

Parsons appreciates the circumstances of each individual, and treats all persons who seek our assistance with dignity and courtesy. Your presence at the agency and the issues discussed are strictly confidential. We believe that prospective clients should participate in the decision-making process that will affect their treatment. Admission is coordinated and treatment is planned collaboratively by the client, referral source, and Parsons staff, resulting in individualized treatment plans. Our goal is to furnish an array of services that will meet the needs of each client and promote success during treatment and thereafter. Centralized Intake staff manage and facilitate all movement from program to program, and assist children and families as their needs or requests for services change. If it appears that needs can be better met by another agency, staff will assist in facilitating that referral.

Centralized Intake accepts all inquiries and referrals to all agency programs and services. For referrals and admissions call (518) 426-2800 or e-mail CIU@parsonscenter.org.

Inquiries and referrals from family members, public agencies such as social services, probation, mental health, and school districts, as well as private agencies, physicians, and clinicians are welcome. Centralized Intake staff are available to assist with the referral process and encourage individuals to call for information and admission criteria.
