Maintain your skincare routine. Bringing your regular face wash and moisturizer ensures that your skin stays healthy and you feel refreshed daily. Simple routines can provide a sense of normalcy.
Basic Make-Up, If Desired
If you use makeup, pack minimal. While we recommend keeping it simple, having some basic items can help you feel more like yourself and boost your confidence during your stay.

What Not To Bring
Vehicles
Personal Vehicles
Personal vehicles are not allowed. This policy helps maintain a secure and controlled environment. Ensuring the facility manages all transportation helps reduce the risk of unauthorized departures.
Work Vehicles
Work vehicles are prohibited. This rule ensures that your focus remains on recovery without external distractions or responsibilities. Keeping your work vehicle at home reinforces the separation from work-related stress.
Small Personal Transport
Do not bring bikes, scooters, segways, or similar items. These can pose a safety risk and distract from your treatment. Our program includes structured physical activities that do not require personal transportation devices.
Weapons
Scissors
Scissors are not permitted. While they might seem harmless, they can pose a risk in a recovery environment.
Knives
Knives of any kind, including pocket knives or utility knives, are forbidden. Ensuring no sharp objects are brought into the facility helps maintain a safe environment.

Mace or other self-defense sprays are not allowed. These items can be dangerous and are not necessary within our secure environment. We prioritize safety and security for everyone in our care.
Unapproved Medication
Over-The-Counter Medications
Only approved medications are allowed. Unapproved medications can interact negatively with your residential treatment plan. Our medical staff will provide any necessary over-the-counter medications.
Prescription Medications Not Explicitly Approved By Staff
Ensure all medications are pre-approved. Bringing unapproved prescription medications can disrupt your treatment and pose health risks. Always consult with our staff before bringing any medication.
Alcohol-Containing Products
Some Mouthwashes
Avoid mouthwashes containing alcohol. Alcohol can be a trigger for some individuals in recovery. Ensure your products are alcohol-free to support your treatment.
Weight-Control Products

High-Value Items
Jewelry
Leave valuable jewelry at home. High-value items can be a distraction and pose a risk of loss or theft. Keeping them at home ensures your focus remains on recovery.
