Families calling about a rehab centre near Toronto want to know how long treatment lasts and what the room looks like. Programs run 30, 45, 60, 75 or 90 days, every client has a private room at Hillcrest Mansion in Port Hope or the Woodlawn Inn in Cobourg, and the intake assessment sets the length based on the substance, the years behind it and any mental health diagnosis that came with it.
Clients who still have alcohol or drugs in their system begin with medical detox, with nurses on site 24 hours a day through withdrawal. Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the two substances where withdrawal turns dangerous without medical supervision, and both are handled at our centres.
A stay covers:
- Medically monitored withdrawal and drug detoxification
- Group counselling
- Mental health support for anxiety, depression and trauma that are often underneath the substance use
- Yoga, meditation, fitness and art therapy
- Chef-prepared meals, walking trails and spa and massage at the Cobourg house
Look into rehabilitation in Toronto, and you will find outpatient counselling inside the city and residential beds outside it. The Woodlawn Inn is the rehab centre Toronto clients reach fastest by train, and Hillcrest Mansion is the shorter drive, so the choice usually comes down to how you plan to travel and which house feels right on the phone.
