Visitation at Western Mass Recovery Health Center

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visiting at Western Mass Recovery Health Center starts with registration. If you're 18 or older, you must complete an initial Visiting Form and a Request to Visit before entering the secure perimeter. All in-person visits are non-contact, so physical contact is not permitted. If you drive onto state property, keep your vehicle locked and be prepared for a search. Don't leave children or pets unattended in your vehicle. If you do, the visit will be stopped and it will still count against you. Visits can also be denied for recent convictions, open cases or warrants (for non-immediate family), prior rule violations, safety concerns, appearing under the influence, or other active restrictions. Before you go, check the current visiting instructions, make sure you're pre-approved on the visiting list, bring required ID, and follow scheduling and arrival guidance.
