What Not to Bring
Rehab facilities are safe places for people to receive addiction treatment, so you’ll want to avoid bringing drugs, weapons, alcohol, and anything containing profanity or suggestive images. You’ll want to focus on your recovery without distractions, so don’t bring your own card games or other entertainment.
The facility will provide entertainment at certain times. Some facilities allow cigarettes and laptops, but you can call to check. Leave the following at home:
- SHARP OBJECTS
- OPEN OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICINE
- AEROSOLS, SUCH AS HAIRSPRAY CANS
- NAIL POLISH AND REMOVER
- CANDLES AND ROOM SCENTS
- HYGIENE PRODUCTS CONTAINING ALCOHOL
- PROHIBITED PRESCRIPTIONS
- CLEANING PRODUCTS

“Gratitude Lodge is the most amazing treatment center! They help you detox and most importantly teach you coping skills, they dive into your inner self, and give you the tools to be able to re-enter into this world a way better person than you were when you went in. My wife and I both went to their treatment program and we are both better people to each other and everyone else because of it! We will forever be grateful”
Omar K.

“For years I endured the wraith of substance abuse. Always trying to figure out why I can’t stay sober. I’m fortunate to have a found a place like Gratitude lodge. They helped me build a solid foundation to my sobriety and taught me how to stay sober. Staff is beyond amazing and listened when I needed it the most! Would recommend Gratitude lodge to anyone looking for a solution!”
