CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY - General Information

The 28–day Chemical Dependency and gambling program is primarily for individuals who are experiencing difficulties directly related to their gambling, alcohol or drug use. The co-ed programs consist of theory, skill development, and the sharing of emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and behavioral healing.

A small number of our beds are funded by Alberta and/or Saskatchewan. The balance of our beds are "fee for service." Please call our Admission Coordinator for availability and pricing Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM.

Clients are required to have a minimum of one week (7 days) clean/sober time prior to admission to these programs and are to remain alcohol, drug, and gambling free while enrolled.

PLEASE NOTE: A clean time of 30 days from crystal methamphetamine is required prior to either program.
