What To Bring

While it's essential to be prepared for your stay at residential rehab with all the right things, it's also important to avoid bringing specific items. To that end, Plugged In Recovery provides a detailed packing list of what to bring and what not to bring to our Scottsdale, AZ, rehab center.

Documentation

Identification Card

Ensure you bring a valid government-issued photo ID. This is crucial for verifying your identity and is often required for various administrative processes during your stay. It is also recommended that you keep a photocopy as a backup.

Insurance Card

Bring your insurance card to facilitate the verification of your coverage. This helps streamline the admission process and ensures that you will not be delayed starting your treatment due to insurance verification issues.

Prescription Info

Have a list of your current prescriptions. This should include the name of the medication, the dosage, and the prescribing doctor. Keeping this information handy ensures accurate and timely medication administration.

Pharmacy Info

Include contact information for your pharmacy. This is important if we need to coordinate for refills or verify any medication-related questions. Having your pharmacy’s contact information readily available can save time and reduce stress.

Clothing

Seven Days Of Clothing

Pack enough casual clothing for a week. Choose comfortable, easy-to-wash items that you can mix and match. Consider the climate and bring layers to accommodate weather changes or air conditioning sensitivity. Laundry facilities are available.

Pajamas/Sleepwear

Bring comfortable sleepwear. Opt for something cozy and modest. Feeling comfortable and at ease during rest periods is essential for recovery.

Exercise Clothing

Include workout clothes for physical activities. Physical fitness is crucial to our program; proper attire will help you participate fully in all activities. Ensure your exercise clothes are breathable and provide good support.

Swimwear

Pack swimwear for water activities. Swimming can be therapeutic for recovery, offering relaxation and physical exercise. Choose swimwear that is practical and comfortable for extended use.

Shoes

Ensure you have suitable, closed-toe footwear for various activities. These should be supportive and comfortable, ideal for indoor and outdoor activities. Proper footwear helps prevent injuries and ensures you can participate in all physical aspects of the program.

Hygiene

Toothbrush & Toothpaste

Remember your dental hygiene essentials. Good oral hygiene is important for overall health; bringing your preferred brands can help you maintain your routine.

Mouthwash, Alcohol-Free

Ensure your mouthwash is alcohol-free. Alcohol-based products are not permitted as they can be a trigger for some individuals. An alcohol-free mouthwash ensures you maintain oral hygiene without compromising your recovery.

Shampoo & Conditioner

Bring your preferred hair care products. Having familiar products can add a sense of normalcy and comfort to your daily routine. Choose items that are gentle and suitable for everyday use.

Lotion

Pack moisturizing lotion. A good lotion will help keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Opt for a scent-free option.

Sunscreen

Protect your skin with sunscreen. Our program can include outdoor activities, and protecting yourself from sun exposure is important. Choose a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Feminine Hygiene Products

Bring necessary feminine hygiene items. Ensure you have a sufficient supply of preferred products for your entire stay. This helps you stay comfortable and focused on your recovery.

Face Wash & Moisturizer

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.

Medication

List Of Prescription Medications & Dosages

Include a comprehensive list of your medications. This list should detail the exact dosages and timings, ensuring clarity about your medication schedule. It’s crucial for accurate and safe medication management.

Prescription Medications In Original Packaging

For clarity, please bring medications in their original containers. The original packaging includes essential information such as the prescribing doctor, dosage instructions, and refill dates, which helps our staff manage your medication safely and effectively.

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

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

Protein Powder

Do not bring protein supplements. Our diet is designed to provide all necessary nutrients, and protein powders can sometimes contain ingredients that are not suitable for everyone.

Steroids

Steroid use is not permitted. Steroids can have serious health implications and are not conducive to a safe recovery environment. Our medical team will manage any necessary medications.

Scent-Releasing Products

Candles

Candles are not allowed. Open flames are a fire hazard, and we prohibit them to ensure everyone’s safety.

Incense

Incense is prohibited. It can be a fire risk and may cause allergic reactions or discomfort for others. We focus on maintaining clean and safe air.

Air Fresheners

Do not bring air fresheners. Many contain chemicals that can be harmful or trigger allergies. We ensure the living spaces are clean and odor-free through safe and effective means.

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.

Expensive Clothing

Avoid bringing costly or designer clothing. Comfortable, casual wear is more suitable for the recovery environment. This helps you avoid stress over potential damage or loss of valuable items.
