What to Expect: Admissions
Knowing what to expect in rehab admissions and beyond can make entering treatment less intimidating. From the items you need to bring with you to how you get to treatment, having a plan makes it easier to focus on recovery rather than logistics. RCA’s admissions team is here to answer any questions you may have and guide you through the process.
Taking the First Step
What to Expect in your First Few Days
Your first 24 hours of treatment will begin with physical and psychosocial assessments to understand your exact needs and create an addiction treatment plan customized for your situation. This will be followed by an orientation process where you’ll receive materials and supplies for your stay as well as a tour of the center. You will then be taken to your room in the detox unit (if medically necessary) to undergo a medically supervised detoxification from drugs and alcohol.
