Technology

At OTC, we believe patients should be able to use their technology in safe and responsible ways. For a short initial period, we encourage patients to stay away from their phones and other devices they use to communicate. After this time, patients will be allowed to use their technology in designated times.

Programming

If the patient consents, therapists will regularly contact the patient’s chosen family members and loved ones to update them on the patient’s progress. Family counseling is available upon request.

Family programming at Oxford Treatment Center occurs other weekend, from 9AM to 3PM on Friday and Saturday. This intensive family therapy program must be approved by a patient’s counselor before visitation.

Visiting Your Loved One

During your loved one’s treatment, you can visit your loved one if they and their treatment team think it is appropriate and safe for the patient. Family members will be able to visit their loved ones in and around the main pavilion of the Etta, MS campus, each Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Visits are permitted once the patient has completed detox or been at the facility for at least 72 hours. All visits must be pre-approved by the patient’s treatment team.

It takes a team of experts to fight a complex disease like addiction. As we invest in the most sophisticated technologies to support your treatment, we simultaneously invest in top clinical minds to provide the highest level of care to you.
