In the event that clients could become ill and require medical, social, dental and/or other professional attention beyond what Jubilee Centre normally provides, it is important that clients bring all above mentioned cards.
Telephone Calls
Due to the compressed time frame involved and intensity of the treatment program, telephone calls are limited.
On the day of arrival, clients will be permitted to make one (5 minute) supervised call to inform significant other(s) of safe arrival. Thereafter, clients may make one (10 minute) supervised phone call to significant other(s) at the following times;
Once a week. Timing to be discussed at pre-admission interview.
Fourth Tuesday in treatment: all evening to arrange travel arrangements to return home.
Telephone calls should not interfere with scheduled activities. Long distance calls are at the client`s own expense therefore clients wishing to place long distance calls are encouraged to bring a telephone card or to make collect calls.
Visitation
Due to the compressed time frame involved and intensity of the treatment program, visitation is not permitted at any time during the client`s course of stay.
Money & Valuables
Jubilee Centre is not responsible for money and other personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged. Clients are advised not to bring large sums of money or other items of value. Clients would be wise to bring only the bare essentials in terms of money, valuables and other personal items.
Money will be required for personal spending and coin laundry. Smokers will need more cash. Bring bank cards for convenience
Borrowing and lending of money and personal items is strongly discouraged as is buying and selling. Such behaviors inevitably lead to disputes, which are counter-productive to the therapeutic milieu.
