Public Access Addiction Treatments Canada
Unfortunately, public drug rehab services in Canada with immediate admission are difficult to locate. This holds true whether one is looking for detox, outpatient, or residential treatment programs. With perseverance and determination, a person can access a public recovery centre. However, one must understand certain stipulations.
Government facilities do not always provide detox services. Therefore, most will require the individual to be detoxed and substance-free for several days before admission to their program.
That means an individual must “stay clean” if a bed is not available after detox. For some, this condition makes it more difficult, if not impossible. It is important to inquire about this service when calling for help.
Please visit our public contact page to find the regional coordinates for public access.
Evaluating the Needs in Choosing a Recovery Program
Overview
When choosing a facility in Canada, there are a few things to consider.
- The length of substance misuse
- The type of drugs used (alcohol is considered a drug)
- The amount of substances used and
- Any existing medical issues.
This information determines the type of program needed as follows:
- Medical or non-medical detox,
- Long-term or short-term residential,
- Day or evening program,
- Addiction counselling or coaching.
Treatment Options in Canada
What to Choose
When you call a facility, they will ask questions (do an assessment) to evaluate the person’s degree of addiction. Here is information to help you choose the centres that provide the right program.
Medical or non-medical detox
Medical detox will be needed when someone has been drinking heavily or is a long-time user. Polydrug users, medical conditions and specific other drugs like benzos will need medical detox.
Long-term or short-term residential
Someone with a longstanding heavy addiction history will require long-term residential treatment.
Day or evening program
When someone is functional but feels they are losing control, a day or evening program might help. This program is also known as an outpatient treatment.
Addiction counselling or coaching
Addiction counselling or coaching is also a service for those who are functional but are worried about losing control over their consumption. Since the pandemic, many offer this service in Canada.

What is the Cost of Private Addiction Treatment
The price for private treatment in Canada varies depending on several factors. These include the program type, treatment duration, level of care, single or shared accommodations and other specific services. Some facilities will have a swimming pool, a golf course, orthopedic beds, saunas, and a state-of-the-art gym.
In Canada, a residential program starts at around $7,000 and can go up to $50,000 or more for luxurious centres. The price does not determine the treatment program’s effectiveness, but indicates special amenities and an elegant environment or specialty services.
The caregiving and understanding of its employees and the facility’s philosophy are several times more vital than price.
There are different payment options to consider:
- Payment plans are available at some centres.
- Medical financing from companies specializing in covering medical expenses.
- Insurance coverage.

What is the Best Drug Rehab in Canada?
Individuals are unique, and as such, they react differently to the same approach.
Choosing the best drug rehab depends on the person with the addiction.
Treatment approaches and facilities are varied. For example, some people may feel uncomfortable in a large group and prefer smaller ones. Searching for a “home-like feel” rehab would be a good start. Someone with no religious inclination may feel uneasy with religious-based programs. The most widespread approach is the 12-step program. Many will vouch for its soundness, while others can’t relate.
Caring and experienced staff are common denominators in determining the best recovery centre in Canada. The “relatability” of the program to the person undergoing the treatment is also crucial.

What are the Criteria for Addiction in Canada
In Canada, the criteria for addiction are described by the 4C’s, that is:
- Craving
- Loss of control of the amount or frequency of use
- Compulsion to use
- Continued substance use despite consequences.
At this writing, the most popular drug in Canada is alcohol. Since the pandemic, we have noticed a shift in our call center. Where people used to call for opioids and street drugs, most are now seeking addiction treatment for alcohol.
The Canadian Substance Use Costs and Harms Report-2007-2020 reported substance use costs per substance. Alcohol, the most costly, accounts for $19.7 billion or 40.1% of the total costs, while opioid use costs $7.1 billion in 2020.

Talking to Someone Argument Free (Intervention)
Many families face the same problem. The person is getting out of control but does not see or want to admit it. Frequently, a conversation turns into an argument, which adds chaos to an already heavy situation.
How do you talk to someone about the problem?
No one likes being wrong, and no one likes opposition. Confronting someone with an addiction cannot be done with hostility, and you cannot afford to become hostile, no matter what the other’s attitude. There are definite dos and don’ts in this area.
This website provides a series on interventions that we hope might be useful to you.
You can find more information in the intervention series here.
