All of our treatment units have specific visitation schedules. Your case manager will provide you with the details you need, and can arrange visitation sessions with your loved ones.
What items am I allowed to bring/not allowed to bring (e.g., laptop, cell phone, etc.)?
We’ve created a detailed list to identify which items you should plan to bring with you, and which possessions should be left at home.

Yes, all of our patient rooms are double occupancy.
Am I allowed to leave whenever I want?
According to Texas state law, all patients age 16 and above have the right to request release from treatment at any time. For children and adolescents under the age of 16, this request must come from a parent or guardian. If we believe that you are a risk for harming yourself or someone else, we may pursue legal options for involuntary commitment.
What is the typical length of stay?
The length of your stay at Red River Hospital will be determined by several individual factors, including your age, which unit you are healing in, the nature and severity of your symptoms, and your treatment goals. A member of our admissions team can discuss length of stay options with you based upon these personal factors.
For Parents of Children Seeking Treatment
Does your program have an academic component?
The intensive, short-term nature of treatment at Red River Hospital is designed to focus on the mental or behavioral health needs of our young patients. For this reason, we do not provide any formal academic services for children or adolescents.
How much involvement will I have while my child is in treatment?
We appreciate the importance of including parents in their children’s treatment process to the greatest degree that is both possible and clinically appropriate. You can expect to receive regular updates and otherwise be in close contact with the members of your child’s treatment team.
For details about how you’ll be included in your child’s treatment throughout their time in our care, please contact us directly.
What are your safety practices?
At Red River Hospital, we place great emphasis on protecting the health and safety of all patients, staff members, and visitors. One component of this effort involves scheduled observation levels based on clinical need. Depending upon personal factors, our monitoring rounds may involve personal check-ins every 15 minutes.
