THINGS TO BRING AND DO WHEN YOU COME TO C.A.R.E.:

If you are reading this page it is probably because you have (or soon will be making) one of the most important decisions of your life. This list is designed to make your arrival and admission a little bit easier and less stressful.

Things To Bring for a successful Addiction Treatment:

1. The Most important thing to bring is a good attitude and a strong desire to recover.
   
   
2. Pack casual clothing.  You will only need about a week's worth as there are washing machines and dryers in every apartment. You do not need dress clothing.  If you plan to be looking for a job in this area, bring an interview outfit.  Remember, this is Florida.  It is summer all year round.   At the very coolest, jeans, a light sweater or jacket will suffice.
   
   
3. Work out clothing and sneakers.  These are a must.  Everyone must wear sneakers in the gym.

5. Towels.  You will need hand, bath and beach towels.
   
   
6. Personal Hygiene items.  Bring whatever cosmetics you like with the following exceptions:  No products with alcohol.  No products in spray cans.
   
   
7. Medications (Both Prescription and Non Prescription) need to be placed in a separate zip lock bag.  These medications must be in their original bottle and must contain the name of the prescribing physician, dosage instructions etc. 
   
   
8. Radio, C.D.  player etc.  are welcome in the apartments provided they have earphones.  They are not permitted in treatment.
   
   
9. An inexpensive alarm clock for waking up in the morning.
