Day one starts here

Every journey starts with a packed bag.

When someone you love heads into treatment, you have 24–48 hours and a list of rules nobody explains. We pack their bag to the program's own list, so they show up ready for the hard, worthwhile part.

What's in the Essential Kit

Like any good gear list: only what's allowed, nothing that gets left at the door, and nothing that needs explaining.

15 items 0 alcohol 0 aerosols
Toothbrush and toothpaste Shampoo & conditioner Body wash Alcohol-free deodorant Lotion Comb Lip balm Shower shoes Mesh laundry bag Two pairs of socks Notebook, no spiral Water bottle Travel tissues Washcloth Clear toiletry bag

What stays behind at the door

Almost every program bans anything containing alcohol. Someone three days into detox can't be near it, and staff can't check every bottle. We pack around these, matched to their program's own list.

Know the rules before you pack. Every program's list, in their own words.

For treatment centers

Stop fielding the same packing questions

We build sealed admission kits to your facility's own prohibited-items list. Fewer items pulled at intake, less staff time at the door, a better first hour for every client.

For treatment centers

Not ready to order? Take the checklist.

A one-page, printable packing list built from real facility policies — what to bring, what gets confiscated, and what to ask the center before admission day. Free, and yours whether you buy anything or not.

One email with the checklist, then a couple of genuinely useful ones. Unsubscribe whenever.

Not at that point yet? Read Is it time?, our free guide for families.

The questions we actually get

What if the facility turns something away?

Tell us and we'll replace it free, and update that center's profile so it doesn't happen to the next family.

How fast can it get there?

3–5 business days to ship, then usually 3–5 days in transit. If admission is sooner than that, email us before ordering and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it.

Can you ship straight to the treatment center?

Yes. Use the facility's address as the shipping address, and add the center's name and admission date in the note box in your cart.

Can I return it?

Unopened kits can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a refund of the kit price. Opened kits can't come back, because they're hygiene items. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, or a facility turns an item away, we replace it free.

Can I ask for something specific?

Yes. Use the note box in your cart for anything we should know, such as sizes, scent-free, or the facility's own list, and we'll build around it.
