Alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs

Centres for Health and Healing are leading providers of alcohol and drug addiction treatment to clients in Toronto, Toronto. We diagnose and treat various types of substance use disorders, including the following:

• Opioids addiction
• Marijuana addiction
• Ecstasy (MDMA) addiction
• Cocaine addiction
• Prescription drugs addiction
• Alcohol addiction

Substance addiction, often referred to as substance use disorder, is a chronic brain disorder that causes individuals to seek and use a substance compulsively, despite the negative consequences it may have on the addicted person and their loved ones.

Toronto, Toronto, is known for its stunning scenery, artsy, cosmopolitan culture and warm sense of community. However, hidden within the country’s majestic beauty is a drug abuse crisis that continues to grow in epidemic proportions. 

Many might be surprised to learn that Toronto has some of the highest rates of drug and alcohol abuse in Canada, with over 10% of the population struggling with substance addiction.

Although these statistics might shock many people, various treatment options can help individuals get clean and sober and live a life free from addiction.

Our rehab and addiction services include the following:

• Medical Detox: Medical detoxification is usually the first step in any addiction program. When a person’s body becomes dependent on a specific substance, they often require addiction treatment and detox to help them overcome their alcohol and drug addiction issues.

• Mental Health Treatment: We provide a comprehensive mental health treatment program that involves evaluating, diagnosing and treating various mental health conditions, including substance use disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, personality disorders, and more.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talk therapy that involves various approaches and techniques to help people manage their mental health issues by changing their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT effectively treats many mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and some chronic pain conditions.
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a talk therapy originally adapted to treat borderline personality disorder. However, DBT is now effectively used to treat various mental health issues, including eating disorders, anxiety, substance addiction, PTSD, and depression.

• Individualised Treatment: Individualised treatment is essential to mental health and addiction recovery. Most rehabilitation centres provide individual treatment to clients wanting to overcome their mental health and addiction struggles. Individual therapy effectively treats mental health conditions such as substance use disorder, behavioural addiction, personality disorders, anxiety and depression.

• Mindfulness Therapy: Mindfulness therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps promote good physical and mental health through mindfulness practice. This treatment can be used in various therapeutic settings, including group and family therapy, couples therapy and individualised treatment.

• Group Therapy: Group therapy aims to enhance self-awareness and personal insight through the shared experiences and openness of all group members. Centres for Health and Healing provide group therapy to clients in Toronto to help them overcome any mental health issues they may be experiencing, such as trauma, substance use, phobias, gambling or gaming addictions, and family and relationship issues.

• Family Support: Mental health issues such as substance addiction impact not only the individual but also their loved ones. Family participation is a crucial element of any addiction program as it provides individuals and their loved ones with ongoing support, resources and tools to understand addiction better and cope with any issues that may arise during and after treatment.

• Outpatient Support: Outpatient support programs help clients stay on track with their recovery once they leave a rehab facility. Our outpatient treatment program aims to help you maintain your recovery through various treatment approaches, including comprehensive outpatient support and care.

• Aftercare and Support Programs: We firmly believe that recovery is not a single action but a continuous series of actions and choices made throughout an individual’s life. Recovery is a lifelong process of creating and maintaining healthier habits, relationships, and choices that help you maintain sobriety long after treatment. Centres for Health and Healing provide a comprehensive aftercare and support program to clients in Toronto, Toronto, to help them manage their recovery and practise healthier coping skills while being part of a sober community.

Trauma-informed treatment

As well as the above treatments, Centres for Health and Healing provides a comprehensive trauma-informed treatment program as part of a personalised addiction treatment plan for clients in Toronto.

Studies have shown a strong correlation between psychological trauma and addiction.

Many people exposed to trauma use destructive coping mechanisms such as drinking or drug-taking to cope with unpleasant feelings, thoughts and memories.

Events that can result in trauma cover a broad spectrum which may vary in “type” and severity and include the following:

• Childhood trauma, including abuse or neglect
• Physical, emotional or sexual abuse
• Contracting a life-threatening illness
• Natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods
• The sudden loss of a loved one
• Domestic violence or intimate partner violence
• Being involved in a severe car accident or another incident

Centres for Health and Healing offer a holistic treatment program for trauma disorders shaped around each person’s unique preferences and therapeutic needs.

As part of our trauma-informed program, we also treat any co-occurring disorders that an individual might be experiencing.

In addition, we provide a wide range of complementary therapies designed to support traumatised individuals, including coping skills therapy, relationship therapy and grief and loss group therapy.

Our approach

Our experienced, multidisciplinary team of professionals understand how complex alcohol and drug addiction can be. 

Therefore, our personalised treatment programs are customised to each person’s unique circumstance, taking into account the individual’s history, genetics, the presence of other physical or mental health issues, and various other factors.

Our caring, friendly staff take your life seriously. Furthermore, we know that addiction is not an isolated condition; people develop addictions for various reasons, the most common being emotional trauma.

We know that treating the symptoms of addiction solves only part of the problem.

One of the keys to lasting recovery is to address and treat the underlying causes of substance abuse through personalised treatment programs and comprehensive aftercare and support, which our team provides daily to clients in Toronto (and surrounding areas).

We know that every client has had their own unique life experiences that have brought them to our centre. Because of this, our clients require an individual recovery plan based on their personal selves, preferences and needs.

Focus-based addiction and rehab service in Toronto, Toronto

Centres for Health and Healing provide a focus-based rehab service to clients in Toronto, Toronto.

Unlike traditional addiction treatment, we move away from approaches such as the 12-step treatment model as we have found that this method can sometimes clash with our client’s core values and beliefs. 

We are proud to say that our addiction treatment programs are 100% mindful mental health based, focusing instead on the unique challenges that may have led someone to misuse substances in the first place and instilling healthier coping mechanisms and relapse prevention strategies.
