Can You Visit Someone During Diagnostics at Arrendale? What Families Need to Know

At Lee Arrendale, don't count on visitation during the diagnostic period. Most diagnostic offenders transfer to another facility before they ever become eligible for regular visits. This is where families often hit a frustrating wall: your loved one may be physically at Arrendale for processing and classification, but visits won't open up until she reaches her permanent facility. There's one narrow exception - visitation for diagnostic offenders is only allowed under extenuating circumstances.
