Taking the decision to seek treatment is the first step towards recovery. However, going for treatment in an international location can be stressful. Here, in an attempt to simplify the process, we have listed the main points of the admission process, to enable you to understand what we expect from you as a patient and what you can expect from us.
- After your initial guidance call, you will receive a second call from one of our counsellors to help us understand your personal, medical and mental/substance abuse history in more detail.
- This call will help our counsellors begin to develop an appropriate treatment programme suited to your individual needs.
- The patient will have an introductory session with their treatment team. The team will explain the treatment plan to them and clear any doubts that they or their family members may have.
- We advise you to disclose any medical conditions at the outset of our discussion. Further, we suggest that you submit all current medical reports in advance of your arrival to allow our staff enough time to prepare for your stay.
- We recommend that you get the RTPCR test done and submit the negative report (not older than 72 hours) in advance of your arrival at the facility for safety reasons.
- When you arrive at Athena, a comprehensive health check up will be conducted at the facility.

Airport Transfers
