• Write to us and give us the individual's name.  We have a waiting list most of the time with quite a number of names on it.  Often, by the time we get down to an individual's name several have dropped from the list due to the waiting time involved, so be ready to have patience.
• While on the waiting list we ask that either the prospect himself or you as therapist call us once a month to keep the name active on the waiting list.
• At some point in the interview process we do require a Psychosocial be done.  You may use your own form, or we will provide one.
• It is a good idea to give a copy of the House Policies to your prospective Resident prior to the interview, so that we do not waste our time interviewing a candidate who is not willing to abide by that document.  If your prospect cannot read, or cannot read English, we will either read the document for him or have it translated by a native speaker for him to hear.
• How long will it take?  Usually three-to-six months.  Maybe less; maybe longer; depending on the length of the waiting list and the health of the men in residence at the moment.

    Once the interview is complete we will contact you within a very few days to give you our impression of your candidate's suitability for Fessenden House.
