In order to ensure a therapeutic milieu, clients are encouraged to make phone calls only after the first 7 days of treatment, unless otherwise indicated by members of the treatment team. Upon admission, clients are allowed to call (with staff) a family member/significant other to inform of their safe arrival. Telephones in the buildings are activated for long distance by calling card or collect. The phones are made available during certain hours each day so that their use does not disrupt daily programming.
Mail may be sent to the following address:

Egypt, Texas 77436
No mail order packages will be delivered to clients while they are in treatment unless authorized by their treatment team.
