When you embark on a mental health disorder treatment program, it is understandable that you want to know what to bring to residential treatment. Depending on your needs, most programs will last between one and three months, sometimes longer, so you must be prepared.
Residential treatment is also called inpatient treatment. You will live at the treatment center throughout the duration of your program. The primary benefit of this type of treatment program is you can concentrate fully on your recovery. In this way, you do not have to worry about outside influences that could derail your progress.
Preparing for residential treatment involves selecting a treatment facility. First, you will want to complete the enrollment process and select the program start date. The facility’s enrollment specialist will answer any questions and provide you with a checklist of what you should bring. This list usually contains a section on items that are not allowed. If you have any questions about bringing something, it is best to call the treatment facility for clarification.
In addition, you should take the time to read the facility’s rules and regulations. This will help you better prepare for a structured environment and be aware of what is and is not allowed.
Generally, you will want to pack the following items to bring with you when you check into your residential treatment program:
