Our Referral Process
Our goal is to make the referral process as easy as possible for our professional partners. We value your time, and we work hard to streamline the process so that you can focus on your other professional obligations.
To refer someone to Southstone Recovery Center, contact our admissions department anytime, 24/7. During normal business hours, one of our admissions coordinators will walk you through a patient assessment and request prescreening information and medical records. If you’re calling after hours, a representative will help complete the assessment and ask you to fax over your patient’s records.
If we decide that the patient you’re referring would benefit from our program, we will contact you and schedule them for admission.
Once the participant arrives at Southstone Recovery Center, we’ll notify you. Our primary counselor will contact you again within 72 hours and weekly thereafter for coordination of care if the participant agrees to this communication.

Admissions Review
The admissions review process at our adult treatment center in South Boston, VA
Once we have received the admission application with all necessary documentation, our clinical director will review all relevant information and take one of the following actions:
- Accept the referral
- Deny the referral
- Request more current information
- Request a clinical interview with the referred participant
If a referral is denied, we will provide an alternative recommendation upon request. Both the family and the referral source will be given the reason for denial.
If the referral is accepted and the family authorizes us to share information, we will contact the referring professional to coordinate care.
