Food:

You will be assigned a fridge that you will be sharing with other clients, and a personal cabinet area for your non-perishable food items.  Please bring foods that will nourish your body and soul, and help you through your recovery process.  We ask that you refrain from high caffeinated energy drinks while in treatment.
