INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some milk banks only accept donations, but there are a lot of them out there that will pay $1 or more per ounce of breast milk. Some milk banks only accept donations in person, but many of them are open to receiving frozen and shipped milk. Take some time to search for milk banks in your area to see if there is one you like. Mothers Milk Co-op, Prolacta Bioscience, and the Human Milk Banking Association of North America are well-known organizations in the US that are hospital approved and complete rigorous screening checks. It's generally free to join a milk bank, though some locations do require you donate your first 100 ounces of milk to defray costs before they start paying you. You can apply to almost any milk bank online. You'll need to input your personal health history, information about your milk production, prescription drug history, and other information about your diet and health habits. Most mothers who are selling their breast milk will complete a short telephone interview with the milk bank before moving on to the rest of the screening process. Milk banks require donor mothers to be in good health. They are looking for women who are not on most medications or supplements. Women also need to be willing to undergo blood testing (usually at the milk bank's expense). Milk banks screen their mothers very thoroughly before accepting their milk. Moms shouldn't use illegal drugs, smoke or use tobacco products, or regularly drink more than 2 ounces of alcohol per day. Eligible milk donors also can't have received a blood transfusion in the last 4 months or an organ or tissue transplant in the last 12 months. Blood banks also will not accept milk from mothers who have a positive test result for HIV, HTLV, hepatitis B or C, or syphilis. Because milk banks regularly provide breast milk to hospitals for babies who are premature or high risk, they take extra care to not potentially introduce any bacterias or viruses to the babies. Use sterilized bags to store your pumped breast milk. In most cases, you'll need to purchase these bags yourself. Most bags need to be labeled with your identification number at the milk bank, as well as the date the milk was expressed. The milk has to be put into the fridge or freezer shortly after pumping, generally within 30 minutes. Keep it in the fridge or freezer until it's ready to be delivered or mailed. Milk accepted by mail should be sent via overnight shipping in a cooler and kept on ice. Some milk banks may arrange this for you, whereas others will let you incur that cost.

SUMMARY: Find a milk bank you would like to join. Apply for a milk bank membership. Undergo a screening process and blood test. Follow guidelines to correctly store and transport breast milk.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you have made a decision to go to rehab, let your loved ones know that you're leaving. By doing this you'll be able to share your news before people you care about hear it through the grapevine first. It's up to you to decide to tell them, or simply keep your privacy and explain that you'll be away for a while. Alerting others in advance if you'll need help watching your home or keeping up with your finances. Asking for help is a great way to keep people you care about involved in your big change, as they won't necessarily be present throughout your rehabilitation. Get everything ready for your absence by making sure that your finances and bills will be kept up to date. This includes utilities, rent, and loans. If necessary, alert your landlord or neighbors that you will be away for an extended time. Also, find trustworthy care or boarding for any pets and plants that you have. When you have made a decision on the facility you want to go to, contact the center and make arrangements for getting your treatment underway. Remember to discuss the date of arrival, rules about what you may or may not bring with you, and any remaining questions you might have about the duration of your stay, finances, and visitation once you're there. Find out if you can have visitors and how often the center permits its residents to contact their loved ones. Some centers will prefer that you do not contact people in your life during part or all of your initial stay so that you can be totally focused on the rehab program. Look within yourself and honestly ask why it is that you're going to rehab. Make sure that you don't waste your time and money by checking into a rehab program without being fully committed to recovery and ongoing sobriety. Outline on paper or mentally rehearse your goals for yourself. What do you hope to gain from treatment? Is there anything that you are not willing to do for your recovery? Don't get too worried if you feel very anxious and overwhelmed. These feelings are to be expected. Try to acknowledge the anxiety that you feel, sit with it for a while, and then continue to move forward, knowing that it's there and that there's nothing wrong with that. Be prepared to open up to a different side of yourself, spiritually and emotionally, that you may not be very familiar with. Rehabilitation requires that you put your heart into it and deeply desire the change it will bring, even if it means relinquishing your old ways of dealing with life. Expect that there will be stretches of time at the center when you will feel depressed or alone, and keep in mind that faith in your own healing will lend you the positivity to overcome these feelings. Remember to keep your expectations in check. While you've made a great decision to overhaul your life and kick your addiction, the rehabilitation process is long and can often be quite daunting.

SUMMARY: Notify friends and family. Tie up any loose ends at home. Communicate your intent to a rehab center. Accept the situation. Invite change.
