Don’t Pick The First Rehab You Come Across
If you’re being released for rehab, shop around for a place that has experience with your condition.

Sanitize Everything..Literally Everything
Superbugs live everywhere, and they can travel. Even if your doctor washed his hands, that sparkling white coat brushing against your bed can easily transfer a dangerous germ from someone else’s room. Ask for bleach and alcohol wipes to clean bed rails, remotes, doorknobs, phones, call buttons, and toilet flush levers. Wash your hands before you eat.
