Wake-up times
There are designated wake-up times each day of the
week. Please consult your schedule or counselor for
these times.
Curfew/bedtime
Be in the residence by 10:00 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday, and 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Be in
your suite by 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday,
and midnight Friday and Saturday, so night staff can
account for all patients in the case of an emergency. The
residence is to be quiet after this time. All televisions
and computers are to be turned off by 11:00 p.m.
Room guidelines
Staff will assign you to a room and a specific bed within
that room. To promote fellowship and community, rooms
are suite-style with two patients sharing a suite. You
may not switch beds or rooms. Soft drinks, coffee and/
or food are not allowed in your suite. Personal snacks can
be consumed and stored in your designated residence
lounge. Use of tobacco is not permitted in your suite or
in the residence lounges. Please do not hang clothes, and
wet towels or clothing over furniture or room dividers.
Exercise equipment is not allowed in your suite or in the
residence lounges, including free weights. Staff members
make periodic room checks and will knock before
entering. Patients are not to go into other patients' rooms
without being invited.
Medications
Federal and state regulations require Hazelden Betty
Ford to collect all prescription and over-the-counter
medications upon your arrival. Medications that
are mood altering, expired, improperly labeled or in
someone else's name will be destroyed as stipulated
by the Minnesota Department of Health. Hazelden
Betty Ford's St. Paul campus does not have an on-site
pharmacy. All prescribed medications can be filled at a
local pharmacy. Some prescribed medications can be
kept in your personal bedroom safe, and for others which
require more monitoring, you will go to your tech station
at scheduled times.
