Montreal Withdrawal Management Services (Detox)
Montreal Detox
Welcome to the Montreal detoxification page. Typically, when individuals or their family members are looking for detox resources they are in crisis. With crisis bring confusion. Where can I get help? How fast can I get in? This page will help you navigate the detoxification system in Montreal, Quebec.
Do You Need Treatment? Do You Need Detox?
People often confuse the term ‘detox’ with ‘treatment’ so let’s clarify what both words mean. Detox means dealing with the physical aspects of consuming too much drugs or alcohol. The length of stay in a typical Montreal detox is overnight to 7 days. Many clients are discharged after one overnight stay because there is so much demand for beds in a typical Montreal detox.
Treatment, on the other hand, addresses the psychological aspects of substance abuse and addiction. The length of stay in treatment can vary from several weeks to several months. A type of residential treatment known as support recovery or sober living can last anywhere from 6 months to several years.
Montreal Detoxes Don’t Address the Psychological Aspects of Addiction
The majority of Montreal detoxes don’t provide counselling or talk therapy. If you are looking for a program that addresses the psychological aspects of drug addiction or alcoholism consider residential treatment. Our addiction program, Sunshine Coast Health Center, is a short 25 minute flight from Vancouver and admissions can be scheduled within a few days. Sunshine Coast also has a medical detox so no clean/sober time is required prior to admission. We receive many clients from Ontario and Quebec because they need immediate assistance and want comprehensive, longer term treatment. For more information contact our Admissions Coordinator toll-free at 1(866) 487-9010, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or go to our Contact Us page to send us an email.
Sunshine Coast Health Center also has a 5-day private detox-only program at a reduced rate.
Most Detoxes in Montreal are No Charge
It is important to note that there is no charge for detox at the programs list below if you are a resident of Quebec and have provincial health care.
Don’t Detox Alone
Think again if you are considering detoxing alone at home. Detoxing from alcohol or alcohol combined with certain drugs can be life-threatening. If you are travelling to be admitted into a detox take a cab, a bus or get a ride from a sober friend or family member. If your admission to alcohol detox is delayed consider small sips of alcohol rather than going cold turkey during the hours leading up to your detox admission. For more information on withdrawing from alcohol refer to the following alcohol information page.
