Are you heading to rehab? Here are the six essentials to take to drug and alcohol rehab!

4) Bring your Open Mind. If you think you know it all you are in for a struggle. Stay open to change and taking steps that are challenging but successful. Your mind is like a parachute it only works when it is opened!
5) Bring your Willingness. The Willingness to change is the key ingredient in the recovery process. When you are willing to change you are willing to accept the positive possibilities that are in store for you and your life.
6) Bring your Body and your mind will follow. If you fail to show up you have no chance at making it! So feel the fear and get on the transportation that will get you to Rehab!
