FAQ

I need help. What should I do?

Please contact our team at (312) 312-3867. We will schedule for you a free consultation.

How does the admission process work?

You will meet with our Admissions Team after you've decided to join GIA. We will ask you several demographic, mental health, and medical questions throughout the admission and intake procedure. This will help us understand who you are and learn about your unique needs and goals. The questions can be completed in person, over a teleconference, or over the phone – whichever you prefer.

What paperwork do I need for admission? What should I expect at the time of admission?

The only paperwork you will need is one form of ID (a driver’s license, a passport, etc.), and the information of your insurance card, if applicable.

Our major objective is to get to know you and work with you as your mental health counselor. The more information you want to give us, the better we will understand you. So, you are welcome to submit any relevant medical documents from prior or current providers that you wish to discuss with us. However, this is not required.

Can my family members, friends, or an advocate accompany me to admission/treatment?

Yes! At any point in their journey, we encourage individuals to bring whomever they are comfortable with to their admittance and treatment visits.

Do I need an appointment for admission? Do you accept walk in appointments?

Yes, we welcome walk-in patients. However, to schedule a free consultation, we strongly suggest that you call us. This will minimize any lengthy waiting periods.

Insurance and Payment

GIA provides concierge modeled care meaning every client is given the utmost attention by our clinical team. Care planning is based upon a thorough review of your medical history. As needed, diagnostic work is performed to better understand your specific needs. Clients are asked for payment upon intake covering diagnostics, care planning, and initial TMS sessions. We will help you access your Out Of Network benefits. If needed, we can refer lenders that specialize in financing out-of-pocket medical costs. Please note that we do not take Medicaid/Medicare at this time. Please contact our team at (312) 312-3867 for further information.

Do you offer packages or deferred payments?

Yes, we provide a variety of concierge services. Concierge at GIA means that you will receive our undivided, unrushed attention and collaborate with you to develop a highly customized treatment plan. Our services include thorough evaluations and recommendations which will be customized to your unique requirements and objectives. We will take the time to sit down with you, discuss our programs and concierge packages in detail, and answer any questions you might have during your free consultation.

On average, how long do programs last at GIA?

All that is decided based on your requirements and objectives for your health journey. Some clients may only want to join GIA for a few weeks or a month, while others may wish to continue attending indefinitely. We will recommend a program length that we believe is ideal for you based on your entire evaluation. We'll work with you to make the program fit your schedule and preferences.

Do I need to come in every day?

All of this is often determined by your specific requirements and objectives. We frequently request clients to come in every day during the first week. After that, we usually ask clients to come in once or twice per-week. We'll work with you to fit your schedule and locate the most suitable times for you.

Do you offer any education or support for families of patients?

"I fell into a deep depression and I thought maybe drugs would help me with that situation. But, they just made it worse. I was confused on how to stay clean and sober by leaving detox, but I made the right choice by coming here. GIA helped me a whole lot, and I'm grateful to be here."
