Intensive/Day Treatment - Substance Use
The day program helps individuals who are experiencing challenges with substance use and is suitable for individuals who have co-existing mental health concerns. Clinicians work with the patients to set goals to reduce harm associated with patients’ 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.
This program offers psycho-educational and skill-based groups relating to managing emotion and distorted thinking, working through cravings and triggers, improving communication and relationships, relapse prevention and dealing with related challenges. This program also offers a processing group that engages individuals on a mental and emotional and behavioral level. Through this process patients have an opportunity to develop new insights, work through difficult emotions and cope more effectively with their unique triggers. Upon program completion patients can expect to leave with a solid understanding of the work involved to create and maintain changes with substance use. The program runs four days a week from 9 to noon.
Referrals are accepted from Family Doctor/Medical Doctor/Nurse Practitioner for people that struggle with substances use and/or concurrent disorders.
This program does not focus on behavioural addictions.
