What to Bring to Treatment
When preparing for treatment, it is important to bring essential items that will help you feel comfortable and supported during your stay. Here are some things we would suggest bringing to treatment:
Clothing : Bring comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing for the duration of your stay. Consider bringing exercise clothes if there is a fitness center on-site, as well as a few outfits for any off-site activities or outings.
Toiletries : Bring personal hygiene items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. It is also recommended to bring any necessary medications or medical equipment.
Journal : Bring a journal or notebook to write down thoughts, emotions, and insights throughout your treatment journey. This can be a helpful tool for processing experiences and reflecting on progress.
Books : Bring books that inspire you or provide guidance on recovery. This can be a helpful way to stay motivated and engaged in your recovery process.
Comfort items : Bring items that bring you comfort, such as a favorite blanket, stuffed animal, or photos of loved ones. These items can provide a sense of familiarity and comfort during a challenging time.
Snacks : Bring non-perishable snacks such as protein bars or trail mix. These can be helpful for managing hunger and cravings between meals.
Water bottle : Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Drinking enough water can also help manage cravings and promote overall well-being.
Headphones : Bring headphones to listen to music or guided meditations. These can be helpful for managing stress and promoting relaxation.
Personal items : Bring any personal items that make you feel at home, such as a special pillow or favorite mug. These items can provide a sense of comfort and familiarity during a challenging time.
Support system information : Bring contact information for loved ones, therapists, or other support system members. This can be helpful for maintaining communication and staying connected with those who support your recovery journey.
