Help for Drug and Alcohol Rehab St. John’s
We are not a treatment centre, but you can call us for help finding a drug or alcohol rehabilitation centre. You can speak with one of our experienced referral counsellors, who have many years of experience in this field.
They can answer your questions about the available options for St. John’s drug rehabs for the person you want to help. You have a choice of two avenues: the community or the private sector. Both are available, and each has its plus points. The type of program is also an important choice.
St. John’s Drug Rehab Centres
You may want a public-access drug or alcohol rehab in Saint John’s. The wait time can sometimes be long. In some areas and certain circumstances, people can get admitted faster with a physician’s referral.
Subsidized centres are a good choice. However, many public centres will require the person to be substance-free several days before admission. This condition is specific to facilities that do not provide detox in-house. So, a person choosing public access treatment should consider the time lapse between detox and rehabilitation. One must be able to “stay clean” if a bed is not readily available. This situation makes public facilities a bit more difficult for some.

Options for St. John's Drug Rehab
A private residential drug rehab centre is another option. Most people believe they cannot afford this service; it is not always so. There are many good affordable treatment centres, and we search across Canada. Our referral counsellor can greatly assist in finding the right program suited to your situation.
If you are not getting results searching for St. John’s drug rehabs, talk to our counsellor for help in Newfoundland and Labrador. They will have options for your family.
Private Drug and Alcohol Rehab St. John’s
Private rehabs will have their treatment program methods. Some centres will incorporate 12-step with other forms of support like yoga, outdoor activities, art therapy, cognitive therapy, social skills, etc.
The environment is just as important to the person as the program itself. A clean, hygienic, and comfortable surrounding is very conducive to recovery.

Talking Rehab
When the person’s consumption worries you, the first step is to discuss it with them. You will see if they recognize a problem or are in total denial. If the person acknowledges the problem, you are halfway to a solution. You should be now ready to start searching for a rehab centre.

However, someone who refuses to acknowledge a problem will require more work. Being patient and attempting several conversations can be necessary. This applies when the person’s life is not in jeopardy by their use.

If the person’s is in danger, a family can consider an intervention. There are two options. The first is to plan an intervention with family members. The second would be to seek help from a professional. Having an experienced person monitor and coordinate it is a sound idea.
Many private treatment centres will offer intervention services.

Calling for Help
Drug and Alcohol Rehab St. John’s
When you call from St. John’s, our referral counsellor starts with an assessment. This action helps them determine the level of care the person needs. It will determine the length of the program and what method of approach will be more successful.
They suggest the best facilities for the person, and it may not be in St. John’s but in a neighbouring city or province. Once you agree on a centre, the referral counsellor will have that facility call you. You will be able to ask them questions. At this point, if all is okay, the centre will start the admission process. If not we will find another centre.
We will do a follow-up call in a few days to see how it went. You can also call us back at any time.
