  • Once all required paperwork has been received, placement with an ADC counselor typically takes up to two weeks. We carefully review all intake information, including availability, when making counselor assignments. In some cases, counselor schedules may be at full capacity. If this occurs, you will be notified and placed on a waitlist until a counselor becomes available. This is a common and normal part of the process.
  • Please note that ADC is not a 24-hour emergency care facility. If you are experiencing a crisis, contact a physician, go to a local emergency room, or call 911 when necessary.
  • At ADC, we view counseling as part of Christian discipleship and believe growth is strengthened when it happens within the life of the church. An Advocate provides ongoing relational support through prayer, encouragement, and presence, helping connect what happens in counseling with everyday life.
  • An Advocate attends counseling sessions alongside the counselee and can continue walking with them after formal counseling ends. This role is not counseling or accountability, but supportive companionship that reminds the counselee they are not walking alone.
