Once you have made a decision to go to rehab, let your loved ones know that you're leaving. By doing this you'll be able to share your news before people you care about hear it through the grapevine first. It’s up to you to decide to tell them, or simply keep your privacy and explain that you'll be away for a while. Alerting others in advance if you'll need help watching your home or keeping up with your finances. Asking for help is a great way to keep people you care about involved in your big change, as they won't necessarily be present throughout your rehabilitation. Get everything ready for your absence by making sure that your finances and bills will be kept up to date. This includes utilities, rent, and loans. If necessary, alert your landlord or neighbors that you will be away for an extended time. Also, find trustworthy care or boarding for any pets and plants that you have. When you have made a decision on the facility you want to go to, contact the center and make arrangements for getting your treatment underway. Remember to discuss the date of arrival, rules about what you may or may not bring with you, and any remaining questions you might have about the duration of your stay, finances, and visitation once you’re there. Find out if you can have visitors and how often the center permits its residents to contact their loved ones. Some centers will prefer that you do not contact people in your life during part or all of your initial stay so that you can be totally focused on the rehab program. Look within yourself and honestly ask why it is that you're going to rehab. Make sure that you don't waste your time and money by checking into a rehab program without being fully committed to recovery and ongoing sobriety. Outline on paper or mentally rehearse your goals for yourself. What do you hope to gain from treatment? Is there anything that you are not willing to do for your recovery?  Don't get too worried if you feel very anxious and overwhelmed. These feelings are to be expected. Try to acknowledge the anxiety that you feel, sit with it for a while, and then continue to move forward, knowing that it's there and that there's nothing wrong with that. Be prepared to open up to a different side of yourself, spiritually and emotionally, that you may not be very familiar with. Rehabilitation requires that you put your heart into it and deeply desire the change it will bring, even if it means relinquishing your old ways of dealing with life.  Expect that there will be stretches of time at the center when you will feel depressed or alone, and keep in mind that faith in your own healing will lend you the positivity to overcome these feelings. Remember to keep your expectations in check. While you've made a great decision to overhaul your life and kick your addiction, the rehabilitation process is long and can often be quite daunting.

The doorbell switch is the button that is pushed to sound the doorbell. Choose a visible position next to the door for the switch. Visitors should be able to spot it easily when they are standing in front of your door.  Placing the doorbell switch around eye-level on either side of your door frame is a good bet. It is best to opt for a weatherproof model of doorbell that will not be damaged by rain or snow. The switches for most models of doorbells come with holes at the back to make installation easy. Measure the switch and holes and use an electric drill to mount the switch on your door or wall. Alternatively, apply a strong binding glue to the back of the switch and apply it firmly to the desired surface. Wipe the surface you are attaching the switch to with a clean, damp cloth before the installation. Ideally, the chime box should be mounted somewhere at the center of your home to ensure that everyone hears it. Pick a room that is relatively equal in distance from all the other rooms in your home. Choose a room that you do not usually close the doors to make sure that the sound will carry. For instance, you might install the chime box in your living room or dining room. Most wireless chime boxes will take D batteries. Open the unit and put the batteries in as indicated, them close the back panel securely. Choose a spot in your home where you want the sound to come from and attach the box the wall with screws. Most chime boxes will have mounting holes on the back.
