Sunshine Coast Health Centre (SCHC), a best-in-class drug rehab, alcohol treatment, trauma and PTSD treatment program for men located in Powell River BC Canada, is proud to announce updates to its uptake procedures. As the Pandemic recedes, the new procedures will enhance the service offerings going forward.
“Our top priority is the health and safety of our clients,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “We are excited to announce updates to our intake policies as the situation evolves and new options become available to our client base.”
Persons who would like to learn more can read the full post at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/our-response-to-covid-19/. Here are the basics. Clients are no longer expected to do a three-to-five day medical program. With rapid testing now available, clients will complete an initial test upon arrival and then can begin using all normally available services and facilities right away (unless they require withdrawal management or detox). Five days later, second and likely final, COVID testing will be done. This will allow clients to access services and amenities much quicker if they are well enough to do so. Vaccination will not be required to attend but remains recommended. Clients arriving by plane are required to show proof of vaccination to airline(s). In addition, there will be a return to outings in public areas. Clients will follow mask and social distancing requirements on each outing. Facilities and businesses that allow for private bookings will be arranged as so in advance.
