When clients first enter treatment there will be a blackout period in which they will not have access to their electronics except for urgent issues. This period is to allow both the client and the family time to refocus and begin the healing process. Once the applicable blackout period has ended, clients will be given full electronic privileges pending clinical approval. Electronic privileges can be suspended at staff discretion for non-compliance with program guidelines.
