Residential Wait List

Rimrock Trails ATS maintains a waiting list for Youth Residential Services. Waiting lists are maintained because the demand for residential treatment often far exceeds availability. This allows the agency to provide consistent access to services. No waiting list is maintained for outpatient services, which are available upon request.

Rimrock Trails has 12 state funded contracted beds which are reserved only for clients under the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). Clients residing under OHP are not charged for treatment services. The remaining beds are reserved for those clients with private insurance, private pay (see "Sliding Fee Scale" above) or other flex funding.

1. If a prospective client has had an A&D evaluation from a previous provider, and this evaluation is less than six months old and indicates a need for residential services, the prospective client's name is added to the waiting list for residential beds.

2. If the prospective client has not had a previous evaluation, they are referred to the appropriate agency within their community to obtain a current evaluation and will be placed on the wait list if the evaluation supports ASAM PPC- 2R criteria for residential care and does not meet any of the Exclusionary Criteria.

Exclusionary Criteria Include:
- Requires a detoxification setting.
- Is less than 90-120 days of turning 18 years of age.
- Requires a more intensive medical setting or ongoing nursing care.
- Requires medical stabilization.
- Unable to participate in structured educational services, even with available assistance.
- Severity of psychiatric symptoms is primary to drug/alcohol need for services.
- Evidence of a psychotic disorder which is uncontrolled by medication.
