PaRC - What to Bring to Rehab

What to Bring to Rehab

Patients often have questions about what to bring to drug rehab. The list of items below has your privacy, safety and well-being in mind. If you are not sure about an item, you may call the drug rehab facility and find out.

If you need more items during your stay with us, your loved ones may bring them to you at any time. They will need to use your private drug rehab access code that you will create when you admit.

PaRC’s on-site drug rehab bookstore in Houston, Carry the Message Books and Gifts, carries many personal care and laundry items. You can also find books, study supplies, long-distance calling cards, snacks and sodas in the bookstore.
