- Substance abuse treatment protocols requiring restricted visitation
Visiting hours
Patients may refuse or deny visitors at any time by letting the nursing staff know of your decision. Also, your decision can be shared by your representative and/or support person. If you believe that your visitation rights have been violated, you may file a complaint.
