Visitation Policy

“New Beginnings gave our family hope when we didn’t know where to turn.”

From a family!

While we do encourage family members to visit, certain rules do apply to ensure minimal disruption of treatment and to protect residents’ confidentiality.

Patients are not allowed visitors during their first seven days of treatment. This is considered an adjustment period and the patient needs to focus on treatment.

Visitation will be on Saturdays from 1:00 p.m to 3:00 p.m. The only visitors allowed are the family members on the patient’s contact list. Please speak to your counselor about approving visitors.

Visitation rules are as follows:

• All visitors must be pre-approved by the clinical team
• Visitor check-in is conducted at the Nursing Office.
• Visitors must have the patient’s ID number in order to attend.
• Visitors are not allowed to smoke while on campus
• Visitors are not allowed to bring cell phones, purses or other personal items into the visitation area
• Visitors are not allowed to bring cameras or camcorders onto the property
• Visitors are allowed to bring food that can be consumed during visitation time only
• Visitors are not allowed at the facility if they have used any non-prescribed, mood-altering chemicals within the past 24 hours
• Visitors may not leave the grounds and return for any reason
• Patients are not allowed at or near vehicles
• Once a patient leaves the visitation area and goes into the community for any reason, that patient’s visitation is over and the patient will not be allowed to return
• Patients and visitors are to conduct themselves in a civil manner both verbally and physically
