Get Treatment from the Comfort of Home

Our Substance Use Disorder IOP is an online rehab program, designed to help stop or reduce harmful drug or alcohol consumption, improve health and social function, and manage risk for relapse. It also offers online addiction counselling in a safe and informative place to begin the process of understanding and healing. This flexible program is ideal for those who do not require detoxification or medical supervision, and would like to continue living at home – whether it’s for comfort or to maintain work or personal commitments.

Why Choose Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

Unlike other outpatient rehab programs, our full-year Intensive Outpatient Program includes individual counselling, group therapy, psychoeducation, use of our corresponding app, and optional access to family programming and substance use monitoring.

Intensive Outpatient Programs also offer:

  • More convenient and affordable treatment
  • Rolling intake can often mean immediate admission
  • Treatment from a team of professionals with formal training in Substance Use Disorder and related therapy, many of whom are in recovery as well
  • Regular outcome measurement to track progress
  • Ongoing support in a safe and non-judgmental space
  • Development of skills to identify triggers that lead to unhealthy behaviours and to cope with urges to use substances
  • Optional educational sessions for loved ones to encourage deeper healing in families
  • Optional pharmacological support from a Nurse Practitioner and drug testing available in select locations 
  • Counsellor-led weekly Aftercare group sessions to help maintain healthy habits

And most importantly: our Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance Use Disorder has proven results. Our assessments taken before, during and after treatment show that patients experience a significant decrease in the desire to use substances. Patients also report a noticeable improvement to their relationships and work life. 

Recovery in the Palm of Your Hand with Access to the our App

In addition to individual and group therapy sessions, you will also use our app throughout the program to set recovery goals, log daily emotions and triggers, and track your progress.

A More Affordable Treatment Option

We understand that everyone’s financial situation is different and inpatient treatment is not always an option. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs can make treatment more accessible. IOPs are on average less than $50 per hour. 

The cost of treatment includes individual counselling, group therapy, psychoeducation, family educational sessions, Aftercare sessions and use of the Wagon app.

We are proud to have partnered with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to provide funded treatment for our online Substance Use Disorder program to residents of Saskatchewan. Click here to learn more.
