A no-show is defined as failure to keep your appointments without prior notification.

Calling a few minutes prior to your session will be deemed as a no-show. The Potters House Family and Children Treatment Center will charge a No-show/Cancelation fee in the amount of $ 25. To prevent from being charge this fee, all appointments must be confirmed 24 hours in advanced.
