Can depression be treated at the same time?
A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.
What do I pack for a stay?
Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
