What To Bring to Treatment in
Florida.
Preparation: Make a list, get it done.
After you’ve committed to going to an addiction treatment center, it’s time to think about the steps you should take in order to be fully prepared for your stay.
Many people who enter recovery for the first time probably don’t know what to expect and have anxiety about putting things in their lives on hold. Things like their job, bills, or family obligations.
It’s important to remember that it’s completely normal to feel stressed out about this new process. These worries can very easily be met head on by knowing what it is you need to prepare; then taking the time to do it.
Understand what to bring, and what not to bring.
Genesis House Addiction Treatment Center in Lake Worth recommends that clients bring 10-14 days of varied clothing, keeping in mind Florida’s tropical climate. We have laundry machines available for all clients to wash their clothes while they are with us and the facility provides laundry detergent. We provide linens, bath and pool towels.
Genesis House cannot accept responsibility for personal valuables brought with you into treatment. We recommend leaving your valuables including jewelry, watches, and other sentimental items safely at your home or with trusted relatives. Genesis is unable to keep any valuables in the office and any valuables brought with our clients will be the client’s responsibility.
We employ a dress code to establish respect and professionalism while in treatment.
Genesis House believes that there is a positive relationship between attire, achievement, attitude, and behavior. The intent of this dress code is to establish dignity and professionalism while in treatment. It is also intended to improve the enforcement and discipline procedures to be followed by all staff members. A client’s appearance should not be a distraction/disruption to the learning environment. The dress code is not intended to be punitive, but to promote treatment success.
Genesis House reserves the right to request a client to change his/her clothing if any of the above is violated. Excessive/frequent violations of the dress code is grounds for discharge.
Most insurances are accepted! If you need guidance, we will work with you to select the financial solution that works best for your individual needs.
