Typically, the first face-to-face meeting between a patient and a treatment provider occurs during Intake.
A patient must be treated with dignity and respect.
It is important for the patients to see the treatment provider as an
empathetic, welcoming and helpful professional.

There are a number of psychological factors affecting your patients prior to entering the intake process. Imagine…
Psychological factors to consider
As you walk into the treatment center for your intake appointment you feel anxiety and fear about discussing your personal problems with a stranger You may also feel angry with your family for making you go to this appointment
![Page 9: Section 19: Treatment Planning and Patient Placement - The Intake Process](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568164cc550346895dd6f025/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Many patients experience feelings some degree of unpleasantness.
More severe anxiety may actually stop some potential patients from keeping the appointment and that would be a significant mental health symptom.
Anger at a family member for “making him or her go” is not uncommon.

In many treatment programs, the functions of intake, orientation and assessment are often part of the first appointment.
Creating a balance of paperwork, listening to the patient and doing the assessment should contribute to reducing the anxiety of the client.
Finding a good balance can also help you build initial rapport and facilitate future treatment processes.
Find a balance

The definition of intake refers to the process of “initial assessment for admission to a program.”
This means you as the professional must be skillful at evaluating and determining if the potential patient is eligible and appropriate.
The purpose of screening is to rule out individuals who are ineligible or inappropriate for admission.
The task of intake is to rule in the individual as eligible, justify the admission with sufficient documentation, and facilitate future treatment.
The most important consideration is that no matter how upset or resistant, a patient must be treated with dignity and respect .
