FAQ
Common family questions
- What should we pack?
- Bring comfortable clothing, personal hygiene products, prescribed medications in original packaging, and essential documents like ID and insurance information. A detailed packing list is provided upon admission.
- What can't we bring?
- For everyone's safety, leave behind drugs, alcohol, weapons, and disruptive items. Electronics may be restricted per program guidelines — you'll receive a complete prohibited-items list before admission.
- Can I come with my child to their intake?
- Yes. Parents or legal guardians are encouraged during intake to provide history and support. Our team will discuss how you stay involved throughout residential care.
- Can I tour your facility?
- Yes — we offer scheduled tours so families can see the campus. Contact admissions in advance; some areas may be limited for client privacy. See the house
- How often can I call my child during their stay?
- We maintain structured phone times based on your teen's treatment plan so you stay connected and informed on progress.
- Do you offer weekly family therapy sessions via Zoom?
- Family involvement is central to our model. Regular family therapy can be conducted via secure video when distance or schedules require it.
- Are there family weekend events or on-site visits?
- We offer scheduled family participation opportunities and therapeutic visits when clinically appropriate — because healing happens together.
