Preparing for Rehab
When researching how to prepare for rehab for drugs or alcohol, you will find numerous ideas and anecdotal stories about individual experiences. Below are three suggestions that will serve you well, no matter your treatment program or rehab needs.
Know your Medical History
Upon entering Seasons in Malibu, our licensed medical team of highly specialized doctors meet with you for a full medical assessment and medical history review. It is often challenging to remember your medical history. This includes any medical and behavioral health treatment you may have had, including past rehab treatments. A simple way to make this easier on yourself is to work with a family member you trust—a spouse, sibling, or parent may be a good choice—and make a list of important medical facts. The list should include the following:
- Information about past prescriptions
- Any reactions to medications
- Past health conditions
- Current health conditions
- Insurance information
- Current doctor and pharmacy contact information
Having this information organized and ready to present will make the initial intake and assessment process go more smoothly. Preparing for rehab starts with getting your necessary medical information in order.
Pack with Care
At Seasons in Malibu, we provide you with a list of the recommended items you should bring to our Malibu rehab. For example, you will want to pack the proper clothing to take advantage of our excellent fitness activities. We offer:
- Walks along the beach
- Swimming

You will want to pack a good variety of comfortable, casual clothing for these activities.
