Over the years, the common problem for family members and people with drug addiction is locating the right drug rehab center. Not all treatment centers are the same; their methods and programs differ. An approach can work better for some individuals but not for others. We can assist you in finding the right approach for the person with the right price range.

We work with the family to find the right treatment center, and we do not work for any particular rehab center; we work for you. Read more about us here.

Fort McMurray & Drug Addiction

Drug and alcohol use disorders can be complicated subjects. We know that having someone with an addiction in your close environment can be life-changing, specifically when the addiction is severe. Also, getting help for them is sometimes equally as complicated. First, because the person does not necessarily admit to a problem, and second, finding a suitable facility is not obvious.

In our business, we encounter families who want and need help but are stuck. Most do not know where to start. Family doctors or friends might give advice, but then what? There are two options for treating addiction: government recovery centers and private rehab. As you may know, the first is government-funded and may be free or require some small fee; the other is a pay-out-of-pocket service. Let’s look at both options.

Public Access Drug Addiction Treatments

Public access to addiction treatment refers to services funded or subsidized by government programs, making them accessible to the general public. As mentioned above, these programs come at little to no cost for individuals. They are designed to ensure that individuals with addiction can receive help regardless of their financial situation.

When choosing a public drug and alcohol use disorder facility, one must consider several challenges.

  1. Wait time: High demand can lead to longer waiting periods for admission.
  2. Limited resources: The services may not be as complete, for example, in terms of detox capacity or customization, as those offered by private facilities.
  3. Admission process: Most facilities require the addicted person to call, not someone in the family and may require a few interviews that the person cannot miss.

In Fort McMurray, provincial health authorities manage public drug addiction treatment services. Alberta Health Services website offers a free Addiction Helpline and confidential support 24/7.

If you’re seeking public access services, a good first step is to contact the Addiction Helpline, 1-866-332-2322, for guidance on available public treatment options. You can also find regional coordinates on this page.

Private Rehab Drug and Alcohol Use Disorder Fort McMurray

These private rehabs refer to treatments offered to individuals who want to pay for a recovery program. These centers can provide a more personalized and flexible approach to care. Most offer faster admission. Some offer specialized services or additional comfort during recovery. You can also find family therapy and support services to strengthen relationships and create a better support system.

Depending on the facility and services offered, they can cost several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. However, some insurance plans may cover part of the expenses, and some centers offer payment plans.

Private rehab facilities are a valuable option for individuals and families wanting immediate treatment access and more personalized care.

Family Intervention and Drug or Alcohol Use Disorder

A person may not want to admit to a drug addiction problem; after all, it is difficult for anyone to acknowledge defeat. Many will know they have a problem but will not be ready to discuss it. Others may feel great relief when someone approaches them on the subject.

But in the long run, being there for the person is important, and approaching someone so they can get help can be tricky. The first thing we always recommend to families is finding a rehab center that can admit a person on a dime.

Here are some articles on how to have a drug and alcohol use disorder intervention. Don’t hesitate to call if you need help.
