Begin Your Recovery Journey With Wellbridge
What To Bring To Rehab
When considering what to pack for rehab, keep in mind that this is both a restful and an intensive experience, with exciting wellness activities. Bring supplies and clothing for a range of potential events. In most cases, patients stay with us for approximately 30 days.
Essentials For Your Rehab Packing List
Non-emergency and recreational trips off campus are not permitted, so be sure to pack these essential items.
Photo ID
You’ll need this on arrival as part of the required intake paperwork.
Comfortable clothing
Include appropriate clothing that is suitable for rest and restoration, active wear for physical exercise, swimming, family visitation days, and everyday wear for group and individual sessions. You should bring enough clothing for 7 days, no more than what can fit into one carry-on-sized bag. We have laundry services on-site for your convenience.
Unopened toiletries
Your personal hygiene or toiletry supplies must be unopened. Bring whatever you use daily, but skip anything powder-based, oil-based, or containing alcohol or aerosol.
Personal care items
At staff discretion, grooming and personal care items such as a hairdryer, curling iron, tweezers, and nail clippers will be permitted.
Payment options
Cash is not accepted at the gift store or cafe so don’t forget to pack a credit card.
Laundry detergent
We have clean and reliable laundry services on campus, but we ask that you bring your own High-Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Any medical equipment
Personal medical items like hearing aids, CPAP machines, glasses, dentures, and retainers should come with you to Wellbridge.
Journal
Bring something to hold your thoughts and reflection while you’re here. No metal spiral bindings, please
Extras For Your Rehab Packing List
Room for and access to extras may be limited. When planning what to pack for rehab, pack light and with intention.
