PACIFIC QUEST ADMISSIONS

Process & Profile

Pacific Quest is not a one-size-fits-all treatment experience. Since 2004, we’ve developed and refined a successful approach to working with youth experiencing internalized distress. The Pacific Quest admissions process has evolved in parallel to ensure we enroll students we feel confident we can help.

Call us: 808-937-5806

It all starts with a phone call. Our non-commissioned admissions team is ready to answer your questions, learn more about your situation and goals, and discuss options.

We’ll also discuss insurance options and review your plan benefits.

Application

Our confidential online application takes most families an evening to fill out. This is a chance to learn more about patterns, relevant medical history, and therapeutic goals. There is no fee to apply.

Review

Our multidisciplinary review takes 1-2 days in most cases. In some situations, our team may need to speak with current medical or therapeutic providers. In these cases, the review process may take a bit longer.    

In addition to reviewing for fit, our team will develop an initial treatment plan and assign a treatment team. We will often have a number of follow up questions to ensure we are ready to provide a smooth transition into our care.

Enrollment Logistics

Provided PQ is a good match, we will work through the following logistics:

• Arrange travel into either Hilo (ITO) or Kona (KOA) airport.
• Complete enrollment documents/releases
• Submit recent physical exam (within 14 days of admission) and TB screening (within 1 year) ; in many cases these can be completed here.

• Arrange payment

Arrival

We’ll work with your family to create an arrival plan that ensures a smooth and safe transition into our care.

How to have a hard conversation with your loved one...

It can be tricky to discuss treatment with a loved one.  We’ve worked with thousands of families who shared this struggle, and while we haven’t found the magic phrase that makes it all easy, we have learned a few tips that can make the process smoother and set the tone for the type of work we do with families:

  • Attuned Agency
  • Attuned Expectations
  • Address the Cycle (Not People)
  • No Sales Pitch
  • Offer Good Choices
  • Avoid Negotiation
  • Confidence & Commitment
  • Time, People & Place
Our Work with Clinical Professionals

When our clinical team communicates with home-based therapists and professionals, we’re better able to create a cohesive experience for our participants.  This collaborative approach is essential to each student’s treatment plan, progress, and success.

Our son had a very positive and transformative experience at Pacific Quest last summer. The staff was very skilled and professional and helped him get on his way to a healthy and postitive future!
