What To Bring

We designed our cozy, home-like facility to make everyone who stays here feel like part of a family. White House Recovery and Detox is an inclusive sober community, and we do not believe in policing standards. However, there are a few basic rules of civility to keep in mind while packing. You will not know who else will be sharing your space, so try to avoid bringing items that are likely to be offensive to others. If you find yourself uncertain, please call us ahead of time, and we will give you a more detailed answer regarding any specific item you would like to bring.

What to Leave at Home

• Alcohol, drugs, or related paraphernalia

• Valuables or sentimental items that may be misplaced or lost
• Provocative or vulgar clothing that may make other people uncomfortable 

Also, please reach out to us first if you are interested in bringing any of the following:

• Lighters, matches, candles, or incense

 What If You Forget Something? 

If you find that you forgot your toothbrush or need some swimwear to go surfing, there are plenty of nearby stores where you can purchase them. We’ll help to make sure that you have everything you need throughout your stay.
