Can I contact a client at Friendship House?
|
|
|
Only if the client is not on house restriction.
Upon admission to the Friendship House, clients are placed
on a 30 - 45 day restriction period. During this time, the
client may not write or receive letters, make or receive telephone
calls or receive visitors. These rules allow the new client
to adjust to his or her surroundings, become familiar with
the program and reflect on the circumstances that brought
them to treatment.
After the restriction period, clients may send and recieve
mail and telephone calls. Visitors are not allowed unless
approved by counseling staff prior to arrival.
