What to Expect – An Orientation to NARSF Programs
Everyone who is admitted into one of our programs will receive an orientation. You will receive information about:
- How the specific program might be of benefit to you;
- A copy of the program rules and an explanation of your rights and responsibilities;
- Emergency information about our premise (where emergency exits, fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located), and what to do in case of an emergency;
- Information on how your service plan will be developed (with you of course) and what happens when you are close to finishing your program;
- Procedures to follow if you are unhappy about the service and/or decisions made;
- How input on programs and services will be solicited;
- NARSF’s services and activities, expectations, hours of operation, access to the facility and after hours supports, codes of ethics, confidentiality policy and requirements for follow-up regardless of outcome in the program;
- Our policy regarding tobacco products, non-violent intervention practices and when legal, illegal drugs and/or weapons are brought into the program;
- Rules that identify any restrictions or actions that might lead to a loss of a right or a privilege and the means by which you may regain those rights if they have been restricted.
