Personal belongings and money
Having come here by my own, I will convert an adequate
sum of my money into "coupons", equivalent

I am responsible for my own personal spending and budget.
My passport, money above that required for "coupons",
and personal belongings must be deposited at the Reception.

The detox treatment is not recommended during pregnancy
or after a recent operation.
Before starting with the treatment, I will attend the
