What to Expect During the Admissions Process

Starting treatment can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our team is here to guide you through every step, ensuring you understand what to expect throughout the process.

Here’s how admissions work at NewLife:

  • Call us for a confidential conversation. We’ll listen to your situation, answer your questions, and discuss the next steps.

  • Get ready for your NewLife with information ranging from what to pack, understanding your new schedule, to reviewing your financial plan. We’ll ensure you feel prepared before you arrive.

  • Welcome to NewLife! When you arrive, our team will be there to welcome you, answer any last-minute questions, and introduce you to your new environment.

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!
