It’s generally a good idea to bring a few personal items to rehab to help you feel comfortable and at home during your stay. These can include:
Comfortable clothing appropriate for the facility’s climate and location.
Essential toiletries (i.e., toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, hair products, and makeup)
Prescription medications—but be sure to inform the staff about your medication regimen
Basic jewelry, such as wedding rings or watches
Some extra cash
Other personal items like self-help books, a journal, important phone numbers, or pictures of loved ones
Check with the rehab center for specific guidelines on what to bring and leave at home. Some items may not be allowed, such as cell phones or products containing alcohol.
