Though the CWIP program takes place in a dorm like setting, and not in a jail -- here are some tips that provide more piece of mind.
- * Before that Friday make sure you know exactly where the residential center is, and which one is building 2. Too many people have "thought" they know where it was at -- only to be too late.
* CWIP starts at 5:30p Friday, and ends at 5:30pm on Sunday. You can not be late on Friday.
* No over the counter medications will be allowed unless - it is sealed.
* Medications must be taken in accordance with the prescription order on the bottle.
* The temperature in the building can fluctuate so please bring some clothes you can layer or remove.
* Bring a towel for showering -- as none are provided for you
* Bring shower shoes/flip flops for when you shower (please note these are not allowed to be worn during session time)
* If you are a smoker -- bring your patches or nicorette gum. Many people have planned on quitting during this weekend. They soon found out that was not the case, and had cravings/withdrawals. You WILL NOT be allowed to share with someone - or use someone elses's patches/gum.
* Bring quarters so that you may buy vending. Even if you normally don't eat snacks -- they can be comforting. Due to the vending maching irregularity -- also bring one dollar bills.
* If you have trouble sleeping you may bring your prescription, or unopened sleep aid, i.e. Tylenol PM.
* Bring a good attitude. If we think we are going to have a good weekend -- we usually do, and vice versa.
