Detox Facilities

Going to detox when coming off drugs or alcohol is crucial for both safety and successful recovery. Substance withdrawal can cause severe physical and psychological symptoms, ranging from anxiety and tremors to seizures and life-threatening complications. Detox programs provide medical supervision to manage these symptoms and prevent dangerous health risks.

 

Additionally, detox offers a structured, supportive environment where individuals can focus on healing, reduce relapse risks, and begin the process of recovery in a controlled, professional setting. It's an essential first step in overcoming addiction and starting a healthier, substance-free life.

Service Access to Recovery

Service Access to Recovery (SAR) is a starting point for people 16 years and older who are concerned about their substance use and want to understand and discuss treatment options. People under 16 years will have access to SAR if they consume opioids. Our main goal is to help people navigate the addictions treatment system so they can find the solutions they need and the treatment option that is right for them or their loved ones. We conduct screening and assessments, offer referrals and provide information, support and guidance.
