From the Paper:

"The inpatient program will consist of an inpatient program with a duration of 28 days. The first week will be referred to as a "Black out" week during which time the participant can have no contact with family or friends."
"This black out period is to help the client adjust to the new surroundings, adapt to the program regime, get started in the various groups and therapies and reduce the chance of contacting an enabler that might interfere with the treatment plan."
"Following the black out week the client will be allowed one visit per week by immediate family members only and it will last one hour.
While the client is in the inpatient program his or her family members will be invited and encouraged to attend the family sessions that will be held each week for three hours that the client is at the center."
