5 Things You Need to Prepare Before Going to Drug Rehab

5 Things You Need to Prepare Before Going to Drug Rehab

October 26, 2022/in Uncategorized /by seo@bpa

There’s a good chance that when you first join a drug rehab facility, it isn’t clear what you need to do and what you can bring. Most of the time, people worry about leaving behind their jobs, money, or obligations to their families. Olympia House Rehab’s article is a resource to aid in your preparation for drug and alcohol rehab, including essential information on various aspects of the rehabilitation process, from understanding the program structure to practical considerations like what to bring with you. This comprehensive guide, inclusive of crucial details about the rehab journey, also emphasizes the importance of holistic care, encouraging individuals to consider incorporating eye tests into their pre-rehab preparations for a more comprehensive approach to their well-being.

 

Please note that most rehabilitation centers have strict rules on what you can bring into residential treatment. Check with your center to see what items you can have. 

 

1. Identification and Other Documents

You may want to bring identification like passports, driver’s licenses, or other IDs into rehab. Some centers may also want you to write down important contacts so they know who to reach out to while you are in drug rehab.

 

2. Finances

With many drug rehab centers offering vending machines, cafeterias, and other stores, you may be allowed to bring petty cash in small bills. You may also be allowed to have credit or debit cards for paying for your medications. 

 

3. Journals and Envelopes

Journaling is encouraged in recovery centers. Bringing a journal into rehabilitation centers can help you document your recovery process, along with any thoughts you may have about it. 

 

Most rehabilitation centers also involve a technology detox, so you may not be allowed to use your phone or other devices to communicate with the outside world. If you are permitted to bring envelopes and stamps, writing to your loved ones and family can help keep you grounded and feel at peace.

 

4. Clothing

Some rehabilitation centers have a strict dress code, and others may even provide you with specific sets of clothing you can wear. If you are allowed to bring your own clothes, you may want to bring a few sets of comfortable clothing and underwear.

 

5. Memorabilia

Bringing memorable items like pictures, jewelry, or beloved stuffed animals can help ease your recovery process by reminding you of what you’re working towards.
