The DEC is the equivalent of Western Psych's emergency room where patients are admitted. It is an area located off of the first floor that requires all visitors, including employees, to go through security similar to airport screenings, though the guards do not carry guns, another employee said.

Visitors have to empty their pockets of everything, and all their possessions checked out by a team of security officers before passing through a metal detector there.

Only after passing through that do you get to go past the first locked door, which leads to a second locked door where you have to ring for another security guard asks you why you're there. Only then, if approved, can you enter.
