Addictions Counselling Programs
Addictions counselling at The Newly Institute can take two forms:
Addiction Core IOP
Our Addiction Core Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for those who require addiction treatment providing rapid resolution of the mental health issues often at the root of addiction. The program is a four- to six-week IOP, and can be combined with treatments for anxiety, depression, and chronic pain treatment. This program includes the Optimal Health Education series, Trauma Treatment, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Training and more to help you quickly overcome your addiction and remain addiction free.
Addiction Flexible Outpatient Program
The Flexible Outpatient Program is designed for those who must balance work and other commitments while completing their four- to six-week treatment program. We utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and/or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindful Grounding, Addiction Group Programming and more to help you rapidly overcome your addiction and learn how to prevent relapse.
Addiction in Canada
While addiction is frequently associated with illicit drug use, most addictions are related to either legal substances, such as alcohol or tobacco, or prescription abuse, including opioids, pain relievers, sedatives, and stimulants. Among Canadians who have been prescribed stimulant medications, 19% have reported misusing or abusing them, while the same can be said for 5% of people prescribed psychoactive medications, 12% of people prescribed opioid pain relievers, and 1% of people prescribed sedatives (source: addictionhelp.com).
Abusing prescription or non-prescription substances can lead to dependence and a drastic decrease in quality of life. At The Newly Institute, we have developed a series of addiction counselling programs that will help you develop healthy coping mechanisms, reduce your cravings and dependence, and prevent relapse. We provide world-class trauma therapy, and other comorbid mental health disorder therapies to help people recover, and stay recovered, from addiction.
