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

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.

Application

Our confidential 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.

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.

Dr. Konik had a huge impact on our child. After our daughter spent years in therapy, he was the first person to figure out the best method to communicate with her and get results. We developed a great rapport with him and believe that his observations and insight were spot on. His passion for his work and his compassion for our daughter was evident. Dr. Konik rocks!!
