Sunshine Coast Health Centre (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/), a top-rated drug rehabilitation and alcohol treatment program for men in British Columbia and throughout Canada, is proud to announce updates to their “medical program.” The medical program is required of all clients prior to residing in primary residences and prior to beginning regular programming.
“Our programs aim at being systematic as we help clients recover from addiction and trauma,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “We are revising our medical program with new specifics so that clients are well-positioned for success once they enter our residential treatment program. ”
First, all clients are required to complete the medical program prior to residing in primary residences and beginning regular programming. During this first period, clients will receive withdrawal management services and additional medical and clinical services, if sufficiently stabilized. Services include a medical consultation with the medical director, intake and follow-up assessments with the nursing team, and medication as needed. In addition, primary appointments as with the primary counselor, kinesiology consultant, and occupational therapist will be available as required. Second, clients will receive orientation materials to the program including self-paced materials that include workshop videos and readings as well as personal TV with bluetooth headphones. Finally, once the medical program has been completed, clients will receive other inpatient service as needed such as a psychiatric assessment, medical follow-ups, one-on-one counseling including staff and peer-led SMART and Dharma recovery meetings. Additional services available including EMDR, hypnotherapy, somatic therapy, rTMS, trauma yoga, and active meditation.
