Process
01
Verify Your Insurance and Benefits
Understanding cost is an important part of starting treatment.
Skyline works with many major PPO insurance providers and behavioral health administrators.
We review your benefits quickly and confidentially so you know what your plan may cover for:
- Mental health treatment (such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood concerns)
- Substance use treatment (including alcohol or drug-related concerns)
- Dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders
Our team contacts your insurance provider directly and explains:
- What levels of care are covered
- Whether out-of-network benefits apply
- Your estimated out-of-pocket costs
- Any authorization requirements
In many cases, benefits can be reviewed the same day.
02
Speak With Our Admissions Team
After reviewing insurance, you’ll speak with an admissions specialist who takes time to understand what’s going on.
You might be dealing with:
- Ongoing anxiety or depression
- Panic attacks or mood swings
- Feeling overwhelmed or burned out
- Drinking more than you intended
- Using substances to cope
- Trouble stopping alcohol or drug use
- Both mental health and substance use challenges
We take time to learn about:
- Current symptoms and concerns
- Substance use patterns (if applicable)
- Previous treatment history
- Scheduling needs and availability
- Support system and living situation
Our goal is to determine whether Skyline is the right level of care for you, whether that involves mental health support, substance use treatment, or integrated dual diagnosis care.
There is no pressure to move forward.
03
Clinical Assessment
If treatment may be appropriate, we schedule a clinical assessment with a licensed professional.
This assessment helps determine:
- What symptoms you’re experiencing
- Whether substance use is contributing to mental health symptoms
- Whether anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood disorders are present
- Whether alcohol or drug dependence is a concern
- The appropriate level of care
Many individuals experience both mental health challenges and substance use concerns at the same time. When that happens, we address both together through dual diagnosis treatment.
The assessment ensures your care matches your actual needs, not just surface symptoms.
04
Admission and Program Planning
Once a level of care is recommended and insurance is verified, we coordinate next steps.
This may include:
- Scheduling your start date
- Completing intake paperwork
- Confirming insurance authorization (if required)
- Reviewing program expectations
For some individuals, admission can begin quickly once these steps are complete.
Skyline offers structured outpatient treatment for:
- Mental health conditions
- Substance use disorders
- Dual diagnosis (co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns)
Available programs include:
- Mental Health Treatment
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Outpatient Treatment
- Dual Diagnosis Treatment
- Trauma Treatment
Your recommended level of care is based on clinical need and medical necessity, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

How Long Does the Admissions Process Take?
The timeline varies depending on insurance requirements and clinical availability. However:
- Insurance verification is often completed the same day
- Clinical assessments can typically be scheduled quickly
- Admission may be available soon after authorization is confirmed
Our team works to make the process efficient while ensuring you are placed in the appropriate program.
Employer Insurance and Privacy
If your insurance is provided through your employer:
- Your treatment remains confidential
- Employers do not receive diagnosis or treatment details
- Your medical information is protected under federal privacy laws, including HIPAA
Seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, alcohol use, or drug-related concerns does not require employer approval beyond standard insurance processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to start treatment?
Most PPO plans do not require a referral. We confirm any requirements during insurance verification.
Am I obligated to start treatment after calling or verifying insurance?
No. Speaking with admissions or verifying insurance does not commit you to treatment.
How do I know if I need help for mental health or substance use?
A clinical assessment helps determine whether your symptoms are related to anxiety, depression, trauma, alcohol use, drug use, or a combination of factors.
Can you treat both mental health and substance use together?
Yes. Many individuals experience both, and we provide dual diagnosis treatment when clinically appropriate.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. All communication and records are handled in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
