Wondering What to Bring to Treatment?

Here is a list:

Laundry Facilities

Laundry facilities, detergent, an iron, and an ironing board are provided at no cost. All luggage and bags will be searched by staff upon arrival at the facility.

Bedding and Towels

Pillows, sheets, a comforter, and a towel will be provided. Should you choose to bring your own items for comfort reasons, the items must be in good taste and not show excessive wear.

Spending Money

Clients should bring no more than $400 cash initially. Small bills such as $10s and $20s are preferred. It is highly recommended that these funds be sent to the facility via check instead of sending cash.

Payment
