Yes, HCBTS clients can smoke or vape in designated areas, outside of programming hours and on breaks between programming sessions.
We advise that you do not bring any prescription or over-the-counter medications to outpatient treatment. Expired medications and loose pills will not be allowed. Most clients who take medication will do so before or after their programming hours at the times their physician prescribes.
Due to the fact that outpatient treatment requires limited hours of patients’ time, and that patients may see family and friends outside of our limited programming hours, we generally don’t offer family visits during outpatient treatment hours. However, HCBTS does offer family therapy and a monthly family educational program to clients and their loved ones. These are healthy environments and unparalleled opportunities to visit with friends and family members in a structured and supportive way. Learn more about our monthly family program for outpatient clients here.
