FAQs
How do I get my son/daughter admitted?
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on factors such as how your child is referred to Nexus and how long
he/she needs treatment. Your
Admissions Coordinator
can help you determine costs and finances.
Do you accept private insurance?
Yes. Nexus offers a variety of payment options including private pay, health insurance,
Medicaid reimbursement to local government agencies, and state and county juvenile
justice/family court referrals.
Do you provide transportation for youth admitted to a Nexus treatment site?
Transportation arrangements can be made by contacting your
Admissions Coordinator.
In many cases, Nexus will send a representative to meet your child and accompany
him/her to a Nexus treatment site.
Do you accept out-of-state admissions to Nexus treatment sites?
Yes. Contact your
Admissions Coordinator to discuss treatment options and determine
the best site for your child.
How long will my son/daughter be in treatment?
When your child arrives at a Nexus treatment site, he/she will be evaluated and
an individualized treatment plan created for him/her. As your child progresses through
treatment, that plan may be revised.
Will I be involved in my child’s treatment?
Family participation is vital to your child’s success. Nexus programs use individual,
group, and family therapy in treatment. You will meet with your child’s therapist
to determine a meetings schedule.
Can I visit my child while he/she’s in treatment?
Your child’s therapist will advise you on visiting your child while he/she is in
treatment. Visits are encouraged for family therapy and meetings. If distance is
an issue, Nexus will provide you with
free videoconferencing capability
and equipment to help you stay in touch with your child.
Will my child attend school during treatment?
All Nexus locations offer an on-site, year-round, fully licensed school for youth
in treatment.
What will my child’s life be like in treatment?
Each Nexus treatment location offers a unique, home-like setting. Students live,
eat, exercise, and go to school on campus. They build relationships with counselors,
teachers, and other students, and they attend individual, group, and family therapy
to face their unique challenges. Progress is tracked through stages and may continue
after treatment in a follow-up care program.
What happens after treatment?
When your child completes Nexus treatment, we’ll still be here to help. We provide
aftercare services including ongoing support, referrals to other treatment providers,
specialized foster care, and in-home counseling services, as needed.
