Non-residential withdrawal (detox nursing)

Service details
Trying to withdraw from alcohol and drug use on your own can be very hard.
Our registered nurses are trained in educating clients on the effects of alcohol and drug use, harm reduction and the withdrawal process. Also, they can provide pathways to residential detox, rehabilitation and counselling services where non-residential withdrawal is not suited to the person or if they require more treatment.
We visit every day during detox and take blood pressure, breathing rate and heart rate and assess the severity of withdrawal symptoms.
