The Recover Supplies New List of What to Bring To Drug Rehab

New York is faced with addiction and substance abuse issues daily, which is why knowing  which treatment options are available, can save lives. At the Recover, their staff is dedicated to bringing the most up to date information regarding drug rehab and addiction. Their team believes that with the right knowledge, anyone can achieve sobriety.

Before attending a New York drug rehab, people should be aware of the strict policies that come when one visits rehabs. Most facilities provide a recommended packing list along with the list of prohibited items. Many of the rehab centers allow you to bring the necessities; however, policies on extra items will vary center to center.

Once a patient arrives at rehab, they will begin the intake process and settle the check-in papers. During this crucial time, the center’s intake staff will inspect every item in the patient’s bag to ensure safety and make sure there are no prohibition items hidden in the bag. Centers often make a note of everything a patient brings, to make sure nothing is left behind.

New York drug rehabs usually have a strict list of what to bring, however many are not aware of this. The Recover staff notes that each drug rehab have different policies, although for the most part  the Recover recommends: A list of names, addresses and phone numbers, those one wishes to have involved in their treatment (loved ones, healthcare professionals, 12 step advocates, etc.). Jewelry that may be worn every day and consider to be a necessity, for example, a wedding ring or a watch, if not, leave valuable objects at home. An alarm clock without a radio. Many centers do supply these, so check before buying one.

Current prescription medicine in the original drugstore bottle labeled with information still intact. Any other medications must be sealed and listed for the rehab staff. Around $50 to $100 in small bills for store runs or convenience machines. Some places also recommend people to bring their checkbook, credit card, or debit card to pay for treatment medications.

It is critical people bring their insurance cards and some form of identification (driver’s license, passport, or social security). A journal or notebook to record daily affirmations or experiences. Pictures of loved ones to keep in their room, along with any stamps if patients wish to send letters. Most of the rehabs in New York will provide the bare necessities when it comes to miscellaneous things, anything personal should be brought and verify with the rehab staff before arrival.

During rehab outfits should be limited, most facilities are very strict with the dress code. This is why the staff at the Recover wants to remind people that they should be aware of the restrictions while packing. If anyone is unsure about how to pack, they should contact the rehab directly. Rehab rooms are minimal and small when it comes to space unless people attend high-end facilities, which will accommodate much more. Make sure to pack clothes, wash quickly, and do not require dry cleaning.

The Recovers drug rehab clothing list includes shoes, comfy shoes for everyday wear, tennis shoes for activities, and shower shoes. Shirts must be dress code, pants, shorts, and one or two special occasions outfights for family night. Undergarments, a bathing suit, however, please check with the rehab due to a dress code.

Attending a New York drug rehab can be scary at first, but if people are well equipped with the correct information, nothing is impossible. Every rehab facility is different, which is why the staff at The Recover recommends patients to reach out to their rehab of choice to ensure they have the best intake process.
