*The above lists identify items that are approved to bring to treatment and those which are prohibited. However, these lists may be partial depending on which facility you or your loved one attends. Prior to intake, our admissions staff provides clients with a more detailed list of important items to bring, as well as a list of items that are prohibited from facility grounds.
The use of electronic devices is prohibited during the initial detox period. After detox, electronic devices may be used during designated times and under close supervision from facility staff. This is for the patient’s safety and wellbeing. Each facility’s specific policy on electronics is a little different, so if it’s important to the patient they should ask detailed questions of the admissions staff before choosing a facility.
