Admissions Process
- Contact Haddie’s at 334-744-9680 or via email at info@haddies.org
- Complete the Resident Application (Private Placement)
- Complete the Resident Application (DHR Referral)
- Private Placement:
- Interview as a family with staff (must bring all needed paperwork: completed resident application, school records, medical information, behavior record, birth certificate, social security card, and insurance cards).
- DHR Referral:
- Interview with DHR worker and resident (must bring all needed paperwork: completed resident application, school records, medical information, behavior record, birth certificate, social security care, and insurance cards).
- If, after initial interview, family/DHR and staff want to proceed we will do a pre-placement trial run. This usually lasts about a week to determine if we feel like we can help the child and the family is comfortable with them staying. We will complete the remainder of paperwork at this time.
- Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis
