Your day will be full here. Morning hours include wake-up, nursing services, breakfast, and your first group session begins at 9:00 a.m. Group sessions are held throughout the day with breaks in between. Lunch is served at noon and dinner at 5:00 p.m. each day. Our food is home-made! At least once per week, you will meet with your assigned counselor on a one-on-one basis to address all of your particular needs. Your counselor will give you reading and writing assignments to complete. You will attend community-based 12-step meetings with your peers every day of the week. Since wellness/fitness is a strong component of our program, we will take you to the gym for a group exercise class three times per week. We also have a fun outing planned each Sunday afternoon. There are late evening and weekend hours whereby television time is permitted.

Inpatient treatment varies depending on each individual case. Many factors are considered to include the clinical assessment, insurance provider requirements, and job responsibilities. The maximum length of stay at Mount Regis Center is 6 weeks.

We recommend that you have a family member or friend drive you here. In some cases, Mount Regis Center may be able to provide transportation. Contact us directly for your personal travel requirements.

Family members may speak with their loved ones during phone times: 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM daily.

Please note – since the implementation of COVID-19 precautions, family members are scheduled visits with their loved ones via Zoom.  Upon admission, a Zoom family visit is scheduled.

Zoom visitation occurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. 

For patients who have been at MRC for seven days, visitation is every Friday 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm. All visitors must be listed on the patient’s visitor log prior to visitation and family workshops. Families must call our family counselor to pre-register for the family workshop.

Patients may receive care packages, clothing, etc. These may be brought at scheduled family groups or may be dropped off at the facility. However, electronic devices (including cell phones) and outside food and drinks are NOT allowed. Family is also asked to leave cell phones, pocketbooks and food/drink in their cars when visiting as these items are prohibited in the facility.

We understand the rules limit time patients may have with family. This is a chance for each patient to focus on themselves, their treatment and their goals. It is just as important for family members to take this time to focus on themselves as well, including deciding what changes need to be made and what boundaries to redefine. The family program is a wonderful place to look for answers before the patient returns home.
