Dual diagnosis program

Program options

• 3-week intensive inpatient program
• 12-week transition day program, one half-day weekly

The 3-week inpatient program provides a structured environment to explore contributing factors related to substance use and mental health. Participants engage in individual and group-based therapy to develop skills in emotional regulation and behavioural change.

Topics include:

• Understanding and managing substance use

• Bio-psychosocial and neurobiological models of addiction

• Motivation and stages of change

• Relationship patterns and communication

The 12-week transition day program is designed to support individuals reintegrating into everyday life following inpatient treatment. It offers practical strategies to help manage common challenges associated with substance reduction and supports ongoing adjustment in a therapeutic community setting.
