Rule 1395.
(1) In
					 a residential and residential withdrawal management program, a recipient has
					 the right to associate and have private communications and consultations with
					 his or her licensed health professional, attorney, or person of his or her
					 choice.
(2) A program shall post
					 its policy concerning visitors in a public place.
(3) Unless contraindicated by program policy
					 or an individual service plan, a recipient is allowed visits from family
					 members, friends, and other persons of his or her choice at reasonable times,
					 as determined by the program director or according to posted visiting hours. A
					 recipient shall be informed in writing of visiting hours upon admission to the
					 program.
(4) To protect the privacy
					 of all other recipients, a program director shall ensure, to the extent
					 reasonable and possible, that the visitors of recipients will see or have
					 contact with only the individual they have reason to visit.
(5) A recipient has the right to be free from
					 physical and chemical restraints, except those authorized in writing by a
					 physician, physician's assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse for a
					 specified and limited time. Written policies and procedures that set forth the
					 circumstances that require the use of restraints and designate the program
					 personnel responsible for applying restraints must be approved in writing by a
					 physician, physician's assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse and
					 shall be adopted by the licensee. Restraints may be applied in an emergency to
					 protect the recipient from injury to self or others. The restraints must be
					 applied by designated staff. This action must be reported immediately to a
					 physician, physician's assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse and
					 reduced to writing in the recipient record within 24 hours.
(6) A recipient has the right to be free from
					 doing work the program would otherwise employ someone else to do unless the
					 work and the rationale for its therapeutic benefit are included in program
					 policy or in the service plan for the recipient.
(7) A recipient has the right to a reasonable
					 amount of personal storage space for clothing and other personal property. All
					 of these items must be returned to the recipient upon discharge from the
					 program.
(8) A recipient has the
					 right to deposit money, earnings, or income in his or her name in an account
					 with a commercial financial institution. A recipient has the right to get money
					 from the account and to spend it or use it as he or she chooses, unless
					 restricted by program policy or by the service plan for the recipient. A
					 recipient has the right to receive all money or other belongings held for him
					 or her by the program within 24 hours of discharge from the program.
