What to Bring (and What to Leave in Your Car) When Visiting Debra K. Johnson Rehab Center
Visiting goes smoothly when you show up with only what the facility allows. Here's the strict, simple list for what you can bring into the visitation area at Debra K. Johnson Rehab Center, and what needs to stay locked in your car.
You're walking into the visitation area with one item: your photo ID. Keep it in a pocket or in your hand so you can present it quickly at check-in. If you bring extra personal items, you'll be sent back to your vehicle to put them away before you can continue.
Your car keys or key fob can also come in with you. That's it. Anything beyond a basic key or fob can slow you down at screening, and everything else needs to stay secured in your vehicle.
Reminder: Phones, smart watches, wallets, and other personal items are not allowed in the visitation area. Leave them in your secured vehicle.
Visiting with a baby? You can bring baby items like diapers, formula powder, and unopened sealed baby food. Pack them neatly so you don't get held up at the entrance.
- ✓ Put baby items (diapers, formula powder, unopened sealed baby food, etc.) in a clear plastic bag.
- ✓ Bring only what you reasonably need for the visit.
- ✓ Have the clear bag ready to hand over for inspection at screening.
You'll go through multiple security screenings before entering visitation, including a body scanner. The easiest way to breeze through? Arrive with only your photo ID and keys, with everything else already in your vehicle.
Vehicle searches may be conducted routinely. Assume your car could be checked, and keep your belongings secured rather than sitting out in the open. Avoid leaving prohibited items anywhere in the vehicle, even if you never planned to bring them inside.
Warning: Firearms, weapons, drugs, and alcohol are strictly prohibited on state property.
Planning to use the vending machines during your visit? The visitation areas use a debit card system. You'll need to purchase or reload the vending machine debit card in the lobby before entering the visitation area.
