Pack for an outpatient appointment, not an overnight stay

Ask admissions what personal items are appropriate for the scheduled day and whether food, a notebook, or other routine supplies are needed.

Bring items suited to outpatient care, not overnight lodging
Evening program times need direct confirmation

Keep valuables to a minimum and follow any instructions about medications or personal belongings. Do not bring an unapproved medication supply based only on general online guidance. Instructions can differ by appointment. The evening IOP schedule runs on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM, but it should be reconfirmed.
