The Watershed 9-week day program (which includes Group Work, Case Management and Crisis Intervention / Counselling and Referral) has been developed by experts to counter the effects of substance use concerns and to give our clients the best chance to progress along their recovery journey in a non-residential setting.
This program is designed for:
- those who are not yet ready for residential rehabilitation
- currently waiting on admission to a residential service
- have other work and family commitments
- are exiting correctional services or may have existing legal issues in relation to their drug and/or alcohol use (such as probation and parole, MERIT, Court System)
- are currently on a pharmacotherapy treatment program (such as methadone, buprenorphine or suboxone treatment) and wish to access additional drug and alcohol support
Individual attention is critical, so every client is ensured to receive valuable one-on-one time in addition to the development of an individual treatment plan to meet their unique needs.
