Clean and sober for a minimum of 30 days

2. THE PROCESS:

A professional referral is preferable from an addiction counsellor, social worker, or other professional who is aware of the applicant’s addiction and treatment history.

To make request for an application form to be faxed, call (780) 488-1160 and then discuss your client's circumstances with Program Staff. Please go over the entire Application Package with the client and ensure they understand the Wait List Requirements

We may consider self-referrals if the applicant obtains the application form in person.

In this case we request that the applicant first calls Jellinek Society and speak with Program Staff.

Then the applicant may stop by and request an application form, fill it out, submit it and then comply with the Wait List Requirements.

3. WAIT LIST REQUIREMENTS:

Upon submission of an application form the applicant must:

Make contact with Jellinek Society Program Staff

Call every Monday and Friday between 9:00am – 10:00am

Note: it is the applicant’s responsibility to call on time (or have previously made arrangements with Jellinek Program Staff to call at another time) and that any calls that are not within these parameters will not be acknowledged as wait list calls. If the applicant misses one call, the applicant’s application will go to the end of the waitlist. A second missed call will result in the application being withdrawn completely.

4. INTERVIEW PROCESS:

All applicants must be interviewed prior to being accepted for residency at Jellinek Society’s recovery house.

Once the applicant has met with the previous requirements, and are next on the wait list, they will be informed of an interview date

Acceptance for residency will be finally based on the interview and the applicant will be informed at that time, if and when, they will be acceted for admission
