Can I Have Visitors While At A Drug Rehab Center?

Yes, you can have visitors while in treatment for substance abuse disorder at Bedrock Recovery Center.

We have guidelines in place for visitors to support our clients’ recovery, as well as to ensure a focused environment for those undergoing treatment.

Who Can Visit You During Your Rehab Program?

We allow visits from immediate family members such as parents, siblings, and spouses.

Family support is an essential part of the recovery process, and your family will be encouraged to participate in family therapy along with your Bedrock therapist.

We may also allow visits from friends who are deemed supportive and non-disruptive to your recovery, particularly if your immediate family is less likely to offer you support.

At our facility, any restrictions placed on visitors are designed to support the focused environment our clients need during treatment, as well as to avoid potential external triggers.

If there are specific individuals you wish to have visitation rights, we encourage you to discuss them with your case manager to see if they fit into your treatment plan.

How Visitation Happens

During the initial phase of treatment, there may be restrictions on visitors to allow you to acclimate to the treatment environment and focus on your recovery without external distractions.

This is especially important if you will be undergoing detox, which is the stage of treatment where drugs are given time to leave your system.

As you progress through your treatment, you may start to see visitors. All visitation is supervised to ensure your safety and well-being, and most visitation will occur in a therapeutic setting.

We oversee visitations to ensure your safety and security, as well as to make sure visitors follow the rules of our rehab facility.

This oversight helps maintain an atmosphere conducive to your recovery and ensures that interactions with visitors are supportive, non-confrontational, and in line with your recovery goals.

Family Therapy

Family therapy plays an important role in our rehab programs, offering evidence-based sessions where both you and your family members can engage in therapeutic activities together.

The goal of family therapy is to address dynamics within your family unit, focusing on communication patterns and education about addiction.

These sessions can help your family learn effective ways to support your recovery, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild relationships strained by the impact of addiction.

Additionally, your family members may be involved in discussions about your treatment plan, aftercare, and ongoing support strategies, encouraging a collaborative approach to your recovery.

As with all visitation, family therapy will be overseen by your therapist, who will work to ensure the sessions remain positive, helpful, and non-triggering.

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation is a form of therapeutic intervention that focuses on giving families information about mental health, emotional well-being, and specific psychological conditions.

During psychoeducation sessions at Bedrock, your family will receive comprehensive information about your specific addiction, its effects on your life, and the recovery process.

Additionally, our psychoeducation sessions aim to create an environment of shared learning, enabling your family to contribute meaningfully to the rehabilitation process.

By explaining the complexities surrounding substance abuse, psychoeducation can reduce stigma, enhance empathy, and provide your family members with practical skills to support you.

At Bedrock, our psychoeducation sessions are led by mental health professionals. They may be conducted individually or in group settings.

Communicating With Other People During Your Recovery

At Bedrock, we recognize the importance of family support, and we allow scheduled communication with immediate family members through phone calls, letters, and family therapy sessions.

If you wish to communicate with other people during your recovery, such as coworkers or friends, you can discuss arranging phone calls or mail with your therapist.

When reviewing these requests, your therapist will evaluate your relationship with these other people and determine if the interaction is clinically appropriate.

If you would like to contact people who have enabled your substance use or who have a negative impact on your mental health, your therapist will likely discourage these connections.

The main goal of treatment is to focus on your recovery, and therefore communication with people besides close friends and immediate family will be limited during your time at our facility.
