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.
