Admissions
The single most important factor for admittance into Standing Stones Ministries’ regeneration program is a man’s attitude. Each incoming resident is interviewed to see if he has a sincere desire to find spiritual help. We have found that we cannot help a man until he is ready to let God help him.
The following established requirements must be met prior to consideration for admission:
1. We require that the man interested in the program phone us to discuss why he wants to enter the program and his current situation. We do not accept collect calls.
2. If the person cannot make a phone call, a letter including the following information is required:
· name, age, address, and phone number
· reason for wanting to enter program
· current situation
· marital status and number of dependents
· how your family will be cared for while here
· type of addiction & number of years in it
· previous rehabilitation programs attended
· complete criminal history and length of time
· current court charges (if applicable)
· occupation and work history
· medical problems requiring special attention
Please mail your letter to our Business Office which is located near Seattle (our ministry is located near Yakima):
SSM Admissions, PO Box 1530, Woodinville, WA 98072. We will respond to the letter as quickly as possible.
Upon review of the letter, additional information may be required.
3. All interview appointments will be scheduled by the program director and set during normal working hours. Weekend appointments will require special arrangements.
4. The personal interview should in no way be interpreted as automatic acceptance into the program. Its purpose is to discern if a man is truly ready to receive help and determine how we can best meet his particular needs.
5. We require that a man be completely off drugs or alcohol at least four days prior to the interview. We will not take men into our program who are intoxicated or under heavy sedation.
6. Persons requiring medication or medical attention will have their situation reviewed on an individual basis.
7. No tobacco products of any kind are allowed in the program because of the correlation between alcohol, drug, and tobacco addiction. One of the goals of the program is to overcome all self-destructive addictions.
8. Items necessary for residents, such as clothing and toiletries, will be discussed before entering the program.
9. Incoming residents should bring their social security card and a photo ID to the interview.
