What can I expect when I come into the withdrawal managment unit?
An addiction counsellor will meet with you on an individual basis to complete the admission form and to go over our guidelines and confidentiality policy with you. Once that has been completed you will be given a tour of the unit and introduced to clients feeling well enough to be up on the unit at the time of your admission. Encouragment is given to rest, take nutritional meals and consume plenty of fluids. Front line staff will monitor your withdrawal symtoms on a 24 hour basis. Once you’re feeling well enough, involvement with the daily 2:00 o’clock groups is encouraged and meeting with the discharge planner to establish treament options. Weekly NA meetings are also available on site for those interested in attending.
