- ✓ Any required acknowledgments and signatures shown on the official form
- ✓ A quick final review to make sure every required field is filled in before you submit
Tip: Always download the form from GDC's visitation page. This ensures you're not submitting an outdated version.
Once you've completed the form, submit it directly to Bainbridge Treatment Center - not to a general statewide office. The form always goes to the specific facility where your loved one is housed.
Reminder: Submission details can be facility-specific. Before you send anything, confirm the preferred submission method directly with Bainbridge Treatment Center.
Once you're approved, you'll schedule visits through GDC's online visit request form. Think of it this way: the paper form gets you approved as a visitor, and the online form is how you book actual visits.

Before submitting your form, take a minute to verify the basics with Bainbridge Treatment Center: where they want the completed form sent and whether they have any local instructions. A quick check upfront helps you avoid delays.
