Steps to Follow

  • ✓ Sign up in advance using the Joliet Treatment Center SignUpGenius sign-up.
  • ✓ Choose a time within the video visitation window (Sunday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.).
  • ✓ Log on 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.

Video visitation runs all week long, Sunday through Saturday. Keep the 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. window in mind when planning, and build in that extra 15 minutes so you're not scrambling at the start.

Before you lock in travel plans or coordinate a group visit, check a few details directly with the facility. Confirm that the SignUpGenius page is still the current way to schedule. Ask whether there are limits on how many visits you can book, how long each session lasts, and whether there are eligibility rules (including any ID requirements). It's also worth confirming any fees, the technical requirements for video visitation (device, browser or app, internet speed), and whether any in-person or alternative visit options exist. Policies can shift, and getting the latest rules ahead of time saves real frustration.

  1. Confirm the sign-up method: Make sure the Joliet Treatment Center SignUpGenius sign-up is the current process.
  2. Double-check the hours: Confirm video visitation is still available Sunday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and ask about any blackout dates.
  3. Ask about limits and requirements: Verify session length, how many visits you can schedule, and any ID or eligibility rules.
  4. Clarify what “log on early” means for you: The facility recommends logging on 15 minutes early. Ask if there are any additional check-in or identity steps you should allow time for.
