Rehab Winnipeg & Addiction Treatments

Public Access Rehabs Winnipeg

You might be looking into public addiction treatment in Winnipeg. What you should know is that some public centres do not provide detox and ask that people arrive on the program ‘substance-free for several days. This situation means someone wanting funded services must ask about this when calling a facility.

With the waiting list and beds not being readily available, one needs to coordinate the end of detox with the start of rehab so there is no downtime. Some public centres are well coordinated with detox services, making the transition seamless. If not, the person with the addiction can revert to their drug of choice while waiting and be back at square one.

Some people can get admitted faster with a physician’s or an addiction counsellor’s referral. So please inform yourself of this possibility with these professionals.

Searching for an Addiction Treatment

Rehab Winnipeg Options

You can scour the internet in your search for an addiction service in Winnipeg. You can visit many sites with descriptions of different rehab centres, as shown above. Some will seek counsel from their family doctors. All of these are good roads to take.

When someone suggests a facility, or you see one on a website, call that centre and get information on their program. Ask about their detox and what recovery method they use.

Guidelines for Rehab Winnipeg

When evaluating the needs of an individual for addiction treatment, you should consider several factors. The length of misuse, the types of drugs used, and any underlying medical conditions that may require a person to do a medical detox.

So, where does one start? Here is a starting point.

What is Medical Detox?

Medical detox is a medically supervised detox. This service ensures the individual’s safety and comfort and prepares them for further recovery treatment.

Recommended for:

  • Individuals with severe addiction: Those who have been using substances heavily and consistently for an extended period.
  • People with underlying medical conditions.
  • Individuals with a history of severe withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures or delirium tremens (DTs), which often occur with alcohol.

What are Residential Rehabs?

A residential center (or inpatient) is a live-in treatment in a well-supported environment. Here, you have long-term and short-term programs. Depending on the addiction severity, one could need a long-term residential rehab.
