Patients

Generally, no substance misuse, no running away, be courteous, just respect people. No self harming, no stealing, clean up behind yourself.
Meds will be at set times and so will meals. They may have a lights out policy or they may allow you to choose. You need to comply with treatment offered or you may be asked to leave. If your a compulsory patient you may be forced to comply if they have to.
Visitors can visit but at the discretion of the staff, your personal belongings are your responsibility unless they are banked with the staff.
You must treat others as you expect to be treated yourself, including the staff.

-There will be no cell phones or laptops allowed for any patient.
There are pay phones available and each patient will have a list of five numbers they're allowed to call. Phone calls are allowed between the hours of 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 8 p.m..

-Upon arriving to Riverview, all of your belongings were searched. Anything we deemed a hazard was put away in to a secure container and will be returned to you upon your departure.
