In general, it may be useful to have accurate information about current medications, substance use, mental health concerns, prior treatment, health needs, and important contact details. Bring only what the team asks you to bring. If you do not have a requested item, call rather than postponing the conversation without guidance.

The assessment may also consider work, school, caregiving, transportation, and support at home. Providing clear information supports planning, but it does not guarantee admission or a specific recommendation.
