Visitation Do's and Don'ts

Due to the intensive schedule of the program, we ask that whenever possible, visits from family and friends be limited to the weekend from 2-5pm. If these times are not feasible for you, please let the staff know and alternative times may be arranged.

Former Patient's visitation:
Newly discharged patients may not return to campus to visit for 6 months from the date of discharge. newly discharged and former patients may return to the campus to attend an alumni function, open meetings, aftercare groups on Saturday mornings, or if asked by a staff member to present their story. Any newly discharged patients attending any of the approved functions may not use the time preceding or following any approved meetings to fraternize with other patients. A former patient may also return to campus to visit with staff by appointment only. If any information is needed from administration or medical records, prior arrangements need to be make before visiting.
