Intensive/Day Treatment - Substance Use
The day program helps individuals who are experiencing challenges with substance and alcohol use. This program is also suitable for individuals who have co-existing mental health concerns. Clinicians work with the patients in the program to set a substance use related goal. These goals are intended to reduce harm associated with patient's drug or alcohol use and improve their quality of life. Patients are provided with the skills and strategies that make it possible to maintain changes and set goals for future changes.
Psycho-educational groups are focused on providing education on topics relevant to supporting patients with their goal. This may include topics relating to managing emotion and distorted thinking, working through cravings and triggers, improving communication and relationships, relapse prevention, and dealing with related challenges. The processing group is intended to engage patients on a mental, emotional, and behavioral level. Through this process patients have the opportunity to develop new insights, work through difficult emotions, and cope more effectively with their unique triggers. Upon completing program, patients can expect to leave with a solid understanding of the work involved to create and maintain changes with substance use.
The program runs treatment sessions four mornings a week, for four weeks.
Referrals are accepted from anyone, including self-referrals.
Referral form is found on the website. Individuals unable to access the online form may call intake and request to speak with an addictions intake nurse.
Standardized assessments are provided in-house for individuals being referred to external substance use treatment.
