The following is a list of items that you may bring with you to treatment or have a loved one drop off after you have admitted into the care of Flatirons Recovery.
- Current medications – All medications must be prescribed for the client, and have the client’s name clearly identified on the packagin, or they will not be allowed.
- Insurance information – This may be a physical card, or a good resolution digital copy.
- Driver’s license/Identification Card – This may also be a physical card, or a good resolution digital copy.
- At least 7 days of clothing, including socks, shoes, flip-flops, and slippers.
- Hiking boots/snow boots – Clients can expect to go on a number of outdoor activities throughout the year, and a good pair of boots will keep you comfortable on those challenging hikes through the Rocky Mountain foothills.
- Snow gear (October – March) Winter Hats/Warm Gloves/Scarfs/ski pants/socks/warm clothes – There’s an old saying in Colorado that, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a couple of hours. The weather can be quite unpredictable—especially in the mountains—so please come prepared for the elements.
- Exercise clothes/shoes – Movement (yoga, hiking, etc.) is a core component of Flatirons Recovery programming both at the treatment center, as well as the house. If it is safe to do so, clients taking part in sober living can expect to go to the gym at least three times per week, and otherwise may utilize the sober living’s exercise equipment.
- Personal Water Bottle – Hydration is incredibly important for everyone in early recovery, and especially for those coming to Flatirons Recovery from lower altitudes. Please bring your own water bottle, as we strongly discourage clients sharing them with each other.
- Musical Instruments – Please, please, please feel free to bring musical instruments to play during your time in treatment with us, as music is an extraordinarily positive and effective coping activity.
- Sunglasses – Proper eye protection at higher altitudes is essential.
- Headphones/MP3 player
- Cigarettes – House Managers typically make one run per week to afford clients an opportunity to purchase nicotine, so please bring enough cigarettes to last for the week and money to buy more at that time.
- Hair dryer/curling iron/brushes/combs
