ADMISSIONS
Atlantic Shores Hospital is a Baker Act and Marchman Act receiving facility that has a 24-hour, 7-days a week crisis intervention, assessment, referral, and admission service. The Admissions Office staff, comprised of bilingual therapists, psychiatric nurses, and psychologists, provide confidential assessments and consultation for psychiatric, behavioral and chemical dependency problems. Following the assessment, Admissions staff will make referrals for outpatient, partial hospitalization, or inpatient care based on individual treatment needs. Admissions staff can also help families determine the financial resources available for health care costs. Medicare, private pay, and most managed care insurance plans are accepted.
The Admissions Office is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. It is a direct access facility, which means that no pre-authorization or doctor referrals are needed.
If you are abusing drugs or alcohol, feeling depressed and anxious, or feeling like you need to be stabilized, please call our Admissions Office at 954-771-2711 to set up a no-charge assessment.
