The decision to enter treatment is a not an easy one. You can expect confidential, caring treatment by qualified staff and doctors on our private hospital campus that has a park like feel.

We want every person entering treatment to have a healthy, comfortable and safe environment in which to begin healing. For this reason, we have some strict policies on what you may bring with you and what should be left at home.

What to Bring:
• Comfortable, casual clothing that is in good taste is appropriate for therapy (for example, jeans, casual slacks, sports shirts, and jogging suits, and appropriate-length shorts such as Bermuda/walking shorts). Note, also that undergarments are required (e.g., bras, underwear).
• Flat-soled or tennis shoes are recommended. Shoes and/or slippers must be worn outside your room.
• We suggest "wash and wear" clothing as dry cleaning services are not available.
• We recommend limiting your clothing to what will fit in one suitcase or one carry-on. Laundry facilities, including supplies are available for patient use.
