friend in long term rehab what can i send?
I have a friend who is going into long term rehab for drug addiction. I don't know anyone else who has gone into rehab but i figured i would send him
a care package once in a while.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience sending stuff to people in rehab and maybe some suggestions on what i can send. I figured maybe some
magazines and cigarettes, just looking for ideas
Well I've got a feeling I'm gonna get mine in. Retribution let the games begin.

I suggest calling the place first and see if there are items that aren't allowed. They might also have suggestions that are popular with patients.
Can't go wrong with a deck of cards.

if you plan on sending books check if they allow hardcovers before you send one, don't know about rehab, but jails don't allow hardcover
record collectors are pretentious assholes

Calling the place is your best bet, but don't expect much. A lot of places want the patient to be cut off from the outside world while they are going
through treatment. I've found it easier to keep in touch with friends in prison than in rehab. Send a letter as often as you can, love from the
outside can help a man stay sane.
