Detox Centers in BC

When it comes to substance use rehabilitation, the first step is usually detoxification. Some individuals try to detox on their own, which can be extremely risky. There are facilities in British Columbia that offer this service in a safe & supervised environment. Here is more information on detox:

• Alcohol & drug use introduces various toxins within a person’s body. During detox, those toxins are gradually removed.
• There are different types of detoxification programs, including standard or clinical detox and medical detox.
• The length of the detoxification process is different for everyone, as it depends on their history of addiction.

After completing drug & alcohol detox, a person can then attend an inpatient or outpatient treatment program. According to the province of British Columbia, there are 2,587 organizations, facilities, or services available in the area. Do not hesitate to contact one of our qualified professionals if you need help or have questions regarding substance use rehab.

Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab in British Colombia

Residential or Inpatient Treatment:

• There are short-term and long-term programs available in British Columbia, depending on the needs of every individual.
• In most cases, long-term treatment is more effective since it gives the person ample time to address all aspects of their addiction.
• This type of treatment offers residents an environment where they can focus solely on their recovery.

Outpatient Rehab:

• The person continues living at home during the program, which means they come to the facility to receive services and then go back home.
• It is ideal for those who cannot afford to put their life on pause to attend treatment.
• Although an outpatient program in BC can successfully overcome addiction, it requires a strong support system around them to ensure they maintain their sobriety.
