Private Withdrawal Management Services (Detox)

Crossroads offers 15 medically supported withdrawal management beds.  Clients are seen by a physician on a daily basis. Medical protocols and standing orders are provided to clients requiring medications to manage withdrawal symptoms.  Typically a client will spend between 5 and 10 days in detox depending on which substance they are withdrawing from. Crossroads is happy to cooperate and accept referrals from other treatment centres and health care professionals.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

  • One on one consultation with program support worker concerning issues of treatment, housing, counseling options, and community support available
  • One on one daily nursing assessments (24 hour nursing care)

7 of these beds are government funded and available only to those residing in the Okanagan. The remaining eight are available on a fee- for- service basis ($250/Night) and have no restrictions with respect to admission criteria. Immediate access into these beds is often available.

Rapid Opiate Detoxification under Anaesthesia (RODA)

(RODA) is a means of withdrawing from opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, methadone, etc.). It is a more comfortable and quicker means of doing so than both the typical “cold turkey” and “valium and clonidine” home withdrawal methods. Although not a means of treating the underlying addiction itself, it should be seen as an important “start” of a more comprehensive addiction treatment program. Western Canada Detox Centre has been accredited by the College of Physician and Surgeons of British Columbia.
