Clients are medically supervised on a 24-hour basis at the Creekside Withdrawal Management Centre.

Withdrawal management services provide short-term medical supervision and support to individuals who are experiencing withdrawal symptoms associated with their discontinued use of alcohol/other drugs.

Medically supervised withdrawal management is important, as there are some serious health risks for people coming off alcohol/other drugs. Once a person has completed withdrawal, they can enter a treatment program.

The Creekside Withdrawal Management Centre supports individuals through their withdrawal symptoms, which can range from increased pulse, blood pressure, anxiety, restlessness, agitation and mood swings.

Services include 24-hour onsite medically supervised withdrawal support from alcohol/other drugs along with:

• Supportive counselling

• Substance use information

• Daily exercise and relaxation sessions

• Assessment

• Referral to other services

• Harm reduction

Creekside Withdrawal Management Centre takes self-referrals.
