What To Bring

There are certain items that Hill Crest recommends our patients bring upon entering treatment. If any items are unacceptable, our admissions staff will discuss the specific items which are prohibited. Please note that washers and dryers are available on premises.


Items to bring or not bring


  • Clothes - We recommend a 3-5 day supply of casual, comfortable clothing. For the Residential units we recommend 7-10 days. We have washers and dryers available to our patients at no charge, as well as laundry detergent. For Patient safety, please do not bring clothing that requires belts and drawstrings or shoe strings. Slip on or Velcro athletic shoes are preferred.
  • Phone Card - There are phones available on the units near each nurse’s station for use during free time. Local calls are free of charge but long distance calls will require a card to call out. Cell phones are not allowed to be kept on the unit (same for I-pods and laptops).
  • Cash - Bring a small amount of cash to be used on vending machines
  • All medications/medical equipment
  • Copy of immunizations (Child/Adolescent/Residential Treatment)

Help is Just a Phone Call Away
