Cell phones have the potential to be both a distraction and a trigger. We want you to be focused and engaged in the recovery process during your brief stay with us. Therefore, we do not permit cell phones. We will store your phone in your locker while you are here. If you need to communicate with family, loved ones, your employer, etc., please let us know and a phone call can be arranged at the discretion of our clinical staff.
For the same reasons we do not allow cell phones, we also do not allow visitors during your stay.
