What to Bring and How to Prepare
NewLife is dedicated to making your transition into treatment feel clear and manageable. Whether you are preparing for residential treatment or outpatient care, knowing what to bring with you (and what to leave behind) will help you feel more confident as you take this step toward recovery.
For Residential Treatment:
To make packing easier, we’ve created a detailed checklist of everything you’ll need for your stay, including:
Clothing & Personal Items - What’s allowed and what’s best to bring
Medications & Health Essentials - Guidelines for approved medications
Personal & Comfort Items - Things to help you feel at home during treatment
Download NewLife’s Residential Packing Checklist below.
For Outpatient Treatment:
While outpatient treatment doesn’t require packing, here are a few things that can help you stay prepared:
A notebook or planner to track progress and session notes
A list of medications to discuss with your treatment provider
A commitment to showing up for yourself and your recovery
Have questions about what to bring for treatment? We’re here to help!
