Daytox: A wonderful compliment to individual therapy for alcohol and substance use treatment

The Vancouver Coastal Health authority has been quietly running a fabulous free alcohol and substance use treatment service- Daytox- since 2002 in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.

Daytox is an 'outpatient,' meaning non-residential, service designed to help people to work on making changes in their alcohol and substance use. This model is especially beneficial for individuals wanting to maintain the major time commitments of their life- school, work et cetera- while working on their substance and alcohol use goals.

The program offers withdrawal management, case management and group interventions for clients, and there are a variety of choices available. The service boasts groups with both harm-reduction and abstinence-based approaches, and is a wonderful treatment as a compliment to individual therapy.

Daytox groups include:

Medical acupuncture for addiction
Mindfulness Meditation
SMART Recovery

...and more! Call 604-585-5610 for information about intake and services available.
