We provide a list of local addiction resources for major provinces and cities. Below are a few, but feel free to visit our website for more information.
Admission to publicly funded rehab programs often requires persistence. In many cases, individuals are asked to call the facility daily to check for available beds or openings. While this process can feel discouraging, it is the system most centres use—and it can be effective.
Staying consistent and determined is often essential when seeking admission to an in-province, government-funded treatment centre. A referral from a healthcare professional, such as a family doctor or addiction counsellor, may help support or potentially expedite the process. Be sure to ask the facility directly about their specific admission requirements and recommendations.
Admission criteria for publicly funded treatment programs vary by province and even by city. Canada’s healthcare system continues to face capacity challenges, particularly in larger provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia, where higher population levels can contribute to longer wait times.
In addition to public services, Canadians may consider private drug and alcohol treatment programs. Private care is fee-based and typically paid out of pocket, although some centres accept insurance or offer flexible payment arrangements. For individuals or families seeking more immediate access or additional options, private addiction treatment can be a viable alternative worth exploring.
If you or someone you care about is struggling, you don’t need to navigate this alone. Free, confidential support is available every day.
