Some areas of the campus have specific visitation rules due to security or treatment related requirements. Please contact the social worker at least 48 hours prior to your first visit so the rules can be explained and to avoid any delays or inconveniences when arriving on campus.

All visitors over 18 years of age should present a legal form of photo identification prior to each visitation.

Gifts are allowed however they should not contain any item determined contraband or harmful to the patient's treatment by the facility. All gifts will be searched prior to the patient receiving the gift. Items not allowed will be returned to the visitor immediately and must be placed in a locker or in the visitor's vehicle prior to visitation occurring. If a patient has too many items to be safely stored at the facility future gifts may be restricted or limited. It is highly recommended that visitors contact the social worker in advance to discuss the gift prior to bringing it to the facility.

Visitation may be monitored depending on the program or individual circumstances.

To visit a patient you should first be registered as an approved visitor. To become an approved visitor please contact the unit social worker or the social work department for more information at 602-220-6446 or 877-588-5163.
