Most programs recommend bringing comfortable clothing, toiletries, any current prescription medications in their original containers, insurance and ID information, and a list of emergency contacts. Each center may have its own specific packing guidelines, so it's worth calling ahead to ask.

Aftercare often includes outpatient therapy, ongoing medication-assisted treatment, support groups, or sober living arrangements, depending on individual needs. Planning for this transition usually starts before treatment ends, so ask any program you're considering how they support people once formal treatment is complete.
