What To Bring To Rehab at MARC

Join Our Community & Build Your Best Life

Be Prepared To Embrace A Positive Experience and Life-Changing Transformation

We’re thrilled you’re ready to face and overcome your challenges to launch the best season of your life yet. No matter what has led you to this point, we’re committed to ensuring that every moment from here on out is a step toward progress, balance, and success.

We’ve compiled a list of items to bring to mental health and addiction treatment at Maryland Addiction Recovery Center (MARC) to ensure you’re prepared to enjoy the best possible experience.

Your Extended Care Rehab Packing List

Our unique community living component sets us apart from many other treatment centers nationwide. Here, you’re fully equipped and supported to step into a successful and thriving life while staying in a safe and monitored environment.

1. Personal Documents

We will need to see your identification and keep a copy on file. Please bring a driver’s license, photo ID, or passport.

2. Insurance Information

Please bring your insurance card and any pharmacy cards that may be relevant.

3. Medical Records

It’s important that we understand your medical history in order to provide the best care. Please bring any medical records and prescriptions.

4. Medications

All prescription medications must be in the original bottle, unopened, and with the labels unaltered. Also, bring a list of all medications and the prescribed doses.

5. Comfortable Clothing and Shoes

Pack comfortable clothing items suitable for group sessions, clothes and shoes for personal fitness and recreational activities, and appropriate sleepwear. Some creative arts therapies can be messy, so pack at least one shirt you don’t mind getting creative with.

6. Personal Hygiene Items

You’ll need all of your typical toiletries and personal hygiene items, such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, body wash or soap, deodorant, lotion, and cosmetics.

7. Personal Belongings

Be sure to pack photos of family members and loved ones, a journal, and pens. You can also bring offline reading or music devices, an alarm clock, appropriate books or reading materials, and other comfort items.

We take the safety and success of our community very seriously. To ensure the best and most effective experience for all of our community members, some items may be declined or stored at our discretion.

Your Outpatient Care Rehab Packing List

If you’re commuting to treatment, you don’t need to pack quite as many items. However, our partial hospitalization outpatient programming is intensive and takes place 5 to 7 days a week for several hours a day. Be sure to dress comfortably and ready for participation. You will also need to bring:

Items 1 through 4 on the list above
