Full List of Items to Bring and Not to Bring

To the Families

Clients are encouraged to focus on their recovery at Calvary Center, therefore we do not have visiting hours. Any visits must be approved by the therapist. Clients are allowed limited phone time every day. Families and friends are welcome to send letters, cards, etc. No food please!

Communications between therapists and client is strictly confidential. However, family members may be contacted to assist with aftercare planning.
