Where to Call Once My Loved One is Admitted

The number to call once your loved one is admitted to Ivory Plains Recovery Center is 888-241-0593.

Choose option “2” then press “4” for other to leave a message for your loved one.

  • These messages are checked throughout the day and evening and any messages are passed along to your loved one.
  • If you have questions regarding your loved one’s treatment, please direct those questions to your loved one and they can coordinate that with you and their counselor if your loved one chooses.
  • We cannot acknowledge the specifics of their treatment here, as those who answer the phones are not your loved one’s counselor/therapist or medical provider.
  • HIPAA/42 CFR also prevents staff from discussing the treatment of our clients without a Release of Information on file signed by the client. The admissions office number is a crisis line and should only be utilized for such purposes.
  • Once your loved one is admitted, we cannot discuss them or their treatment with anyone. Also, due to HIPAA/42 CFR guidelines and regulations, the admissions office cannot confirm or deny a person is in treatment or share aspects of their care.
  • Clients may fill out a Release of Information for communication between their counselor and loved one. If there is an emergency that impacts your loved one and you need to make immediate contact, you can leave a message with admissions but we cannot confirm/deny the client is in services.
  • A message can be obtained and forwarded to the clinical department to confirm there is a release or obtain one if needed.
