Due to the variety and complexity of addiction LDR, believes that the first stage to understanding and dealing with the addicted individual is intake and assessment. This first stage provides LDR’s staff the information to make critical decisions.
We believe quality programs need to provide a combination of therapies and other services to meet the needs of the individual patient, which are shaped by such issues as age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, parenting, housing, and employment, as well as many other factors that can play an integral part in ones ability to become free from addictive behaviours. Please feel free to contact our Drug & Alcohol Referral Line: 604 916-7100 at any time to speak privately with a support worker.
