Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the program?
Be sure to make specific inquiries like: will that all be at an inpatient level? Will they be receiving 5 hours of group therapy that whole time? Many programs will say they have a 90-day program but this is not always all inpatient, generally it will be 28 days inpatient and the rest is outpatient level with only 3 hours of therapy per day. If they are promising 28 days or more at inpatient level, ask them if they will put that in writing. And ask if there will be any extra costs.
What is the full time therapist to patient ratio and what are the credentials of those running groups?
Are meals provided or do the clients have to go grocery shopping?
What Clothes Should I Bring While In Treatment?
It’s important to adhere to the dress code during your rehab stay. You won’t want to pack too much, as space may be limited in your room. You will likely have access to a washer and dryer, so bringing a week’s worth of clothes will probably be plenty. Make sure you have clothes that allow you to dress in layers in case you get too warm.
- T-shirts and sweaters that comply with the dress code
- Pants, jeans, or leggings
- Undergarments, such as socks, bras, underwear, or boxers
- “Dressy” outfits for any special nights
- Shoes- bring comfortable tennis shoes and flip-flops to wear in the shower
- Pajamas, slippers, and a bath robe
- Coat or jacket
