What to Bring
You might be wondering what you can bring into treatment. We want you to feel as informed and prepared as possible and have put together this list of items with your safety, privacy, and well-being in mind. If you aren’t sure if you can bring in a certain item, you may call us to ask. All belongings will be searched upon admission.
What to Bring
Please bring your health insurance card (or a picture of it) and a driver’s license, government issued ID, passport, birth certificate, or your social security card.
Prescriptions for any approved medications (kept in original containers)
Pack enough season-appropriate clothes for at least 2 weeks. Please do not overpack – the limit is 2 large suitcases. It’s a good idea to bring both indoor and outdoor clothing (as you will sometimes take part in outdoor activities). All facilities provide laundry capabilities, so you can wash your clothing as often as you wish.
Clothing Necessities:
• Casual clothes (no crop tops, short/booty shorts, low-cut tanks)
• Socks (several pairs)
• A jacket, sweatshirt, or heavy sweater
• Sweats / Workout clothes
• Bathrobe
• Pajamas
• Walking shoes or tennis shoes
• Sandals
• Hat
• Bathing suit (for beach activities)
• Job search clothes (if appropriate)
Having everything you use day to day in terms of hygiene will help you fall into a healthy rhythm. While they might not seem extremely important, having these comforts will make you as comfortable as possible and will help you integrate successfully into your living environment.
Personal Hygiene Articles:
• Deodorant
• Bath soap / Face wash
• Shampoo / Conditioner
• Toothpaste and Toothbrush
• Razors
• Tampons
We all have those items that remind us of home. Whether it’s a book, picture, stuffed animal or anything in between, having these items reminds us of what we are leaving behind and what we can look forward to going back to. While we don’t recommend bringing every single memento or trinket that reminds you of past better times, having a few key items will help you make your environment feel home-y even faster. Other than sentimental items, there are important other items that would be a bummer to forget, especially with being gone for an extended period.
