Determining the Right Addiction Service

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Nova Scotia

In evaluating an individual for addiction treatment, one should consider several factors, such as:

  • the length of substance misuse,
  • any life consequences of their consumption
  • the specific types of drugs used, and
  • any medical conditions.

These are good starting points in determining the most suitable treatment program in Nova Scotia or elsewhere. The person may require a medical detox, especially for long-time use of alcohol. They may need a short-term or long-term recovery or a specialized treatment approach.

Usually, when you call a treatment centre, the person answering you will do an assessment. It will help determine if the facility can deliver the right program.

Public Access Drug & Alcohol Rehab Nova Scotia

You may be looking for a public access addiction service in Nova Scotia. Government-subsidized centres are a good choice. But one must keep in mind that admission time is longer. It can be from a few weeks to months of wait time.

In some areas, people can get admitted faster with a physician’s or an addiction counsellor’s referral. So please talk with your family doctor about this possibility in your region. Also, public centres that offer no in-house detox will require the person to be substance-free several days before admission. A family choosing a government facility must take this into account. Verifying that the facility offers detox is an important thing to ask. “Staying clean” is difficult for some people and makes public treatment centres a bit more challenging.

Private Addiction Services

When calling our number from Nova Scotia, our caring referral counsellor answers. They will do an assessment and ask you questions about the person’s life situation. These will include the drug of choice, the length of the addiction and any medical situations the person has. From there, they will suggest the best-suited service.

Once you both agree on the facility, they will arrange contact. The centre will call and answer any further questions you have. When you are satisfied, they prepare the admission.

We like to keep in contact with you to ensure everything is running smoothly. You can call us back with any additional questions. Our goal is to find the best-fitting centre, so if the first facility does not work, we can find another one.

Talking About Addiction

Sleepless nights and anxious days are part and parcel for many when substance use disorder is an issue. One can avoid arguments and heated discussions by approaching the situation differently. There are successful ways of talking rehab to a person when the addiction is not extreme.

Seeking a professional interventionist is recommended when the addiction is life-threatening. A professional will help coordinate and keep things running smoothly and ensure everyone stays respectful and effective. Interventions can be very emotional, and having someone impartial to monitor the session is important.
