What to Bring

Once an admission date has been scheduled, it will be important to begin thinking about what to bring. The Farley Center at Williamsburg Place offers a comfortable and casual atmosphere. You will be in group therapy most of the day and busy with assignments for the remainder of the day. Your evenings will be spent with your community or attending 12-step meetings.

Once you have been stabilized and moved from detox, you may have some free time to walk the beautiful grounds, or sightsee in Williamsburg and the surrounding areas. Bring comfortable clothes appropriate to the season, shoes, and workout clothes. We recommend bringing a small amount of cash to cover toiletries.

For a complete list or if you have additional questions, please call the admissions department at 888.707.3220.
