Georgianwood Program forConcurrent Disorders is an inpatient program for adults experiencing both a mental health problem and substance use problem at the same time, which together are called concurrent disorders.
Our program provides specialized, evidence-based services to help you optimize your health and well-being. We work with each client to understand their goals and determine the best treatment and support to achieve those goals.
This 12-week inpatient treatment program is one of the only specialty integrated residential Concurrent Disorders Programs in our region and is held on a 15-bed unit that provides group-based skill development.
Please note that while individual therapy is not offered in the Georgianwood Program, individuals attending treatment will collaborate closely with a Primary Nurse and the care team to address goals and concerns.
The program has a fully integrated curriculum that treats addiction and mental illness at the same time, by the same team, in a cohesive way. Treatment includes:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
- Skills training
- Seeking Safety from substances
- SMART Recovery for relapse prevention skills
- Graduated schedule of passes allows you to visit your home community on weekends, allowing you to utilize the skills learned in the program in your home environment
Admission to the program is voluntary. You are required to contact our Admission Coordinator on a weekly basis while on our waitlist for support and monitoring of your readiness for treatment.
