Acute Care (Scheduled) Services help people who are alcohol or drug dependent, who have other mental health disorders.
A team assesses each individual who comes into our care and provides them with their own treatment plan. The treatment team includes psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, addiction specialists, recreational therapists, social workers, and counselors.
Each individual is placed in one of three treatment tracks. They also receive therapy, which can include counseling, recreational therapy, family therapy, discharge planning and medical treatment.
Length of stay depends on the individual’s progress.

Prior to admission, the LME determines if the individual meets our admission criteria and that the ADATC is the most appropriate site for treatment. No one under the age of 18 will be admitted. People with HIV/AIDS, communicable disease, IV drug users and pregnant women are given priority status.
