Services Offered

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
* Adult Mental Health (IOP) - If you are an adult struggling with a mental health issue like depression, bi-polar or anxiety, which is significantly interfering in your functioning with social, family, occupation or education, you may need additional support and treatment to help you through this difficult time.

The Adult Mental Health IOP is a structured treatment program that teaches how to manage stress, better cope with emotional and behavioural issues and overcome a condition that affects your ability to enjoy life and your personal relationships.

The outpatient program is specifically designed to serve individuals 18 years of age and older, along with other adults working on similar issues in a group setting. The program offers personalized treatment with structured interventions consisting primarily of educational and counselling sessions held for three hours, 3-days per week, and an average of 4-6 weeks. The goals and duration of the program will vary according to the individual needs and response to treatment.

* Adult Substance Abuse (IOP) - The SA-IOP is designed for adults who have a recent history of excessive and maladaptive substance use and meet diagnosis criteria for substance abuse or dependency. Most participants have relapsed on alcohol or drugs, failed other outpatient treatments, were recently discharged from inpatient detox or rehab facilities, or already on their recovery journey and ready to return to work, school and other responsibilities and need help with this transition. Participants that require detox, must successfully complete a medical detox and have no medical complications to participate in the SA-IOP.
