We welcome family members and guardians who are 18 or older to visit their teens during designated hours every Sunday, ensuring a balanced approach to treatment and family connection.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and attend a mandatory Family Support Session.
These measures help maintain the therapeutic environment we’ve carefully cultivated.
