5 Why This Directory? Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. Henry Ford It has long been recognized that addiction and mental health issues are often chronic in nature. Therefore, successful long-term outcomes are enhanced when individuals have access to a continuum of services. This directory has been designed to fill a need for a current, comprehensive, and easy-to-use listing of mental health & addiction service providers in British Columbia. More than just a listing of government services, the Alcohol & Drug Services Directory recognizes the vital contribution made by private treatment providers and mutual support groups across the province. Sunshine Coast Health Center is proud to be your partner in this vital work and welcomes your comments, suggestions, and updates. The Provision of Publicly Funded Mental Health & Addiction Services in British Columbia Publicly funded mental health and addiction services in BC are either direct services of the provincial government, the federal government, or contracted agencies that are wholly- or partially-funded by the government. Typically, adults with addiction or concurrent mental/ health addictions are referred to Mental Health & Addictions which is a Ministry of Health program. Youth with mental health or concurrent mental health/addiction issues are referred to Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) which is a service of the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). Youth with addictions, depending on the community, are often referred to contracted agencies funded by Mental Health & Addictions. Native adults and youth are typically referred to National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs (NNADAP) funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. Contracted agencies provide services in many communities across British Columbia regardless of age (youth or adult) or disorder (addiction, mental health, addictions). Many of these programs offer services for substanceaffected family members in addition to the individual. Furthermore, NNADAP programs may also accept non-native Canadians, particularly in smaller, isolated communities. Introduction The integration of mental health and addiction services has been an ongoing initiative for the provincial government of British Columbia. Programs included in this section often cross-refer individuals with concurrent mental health/addiction issues depending on the primary diagnosis and availability of services. In other words, agencies typically have an open-door policy that allows for admission, assessment and, eventually, referral to other government programs for treatment. Please note that programs that are exclusively mental health and do not treat concurrent mental health/ addiction issues are not included in this listing. Finally, individuals requiring services are recommended to call ahead as intake hours for new clients may vary. Service Boundaries by Age Typically, youth services are for ages 13 to 18, however, some youth programs also serve young adults up to 24 years of age. Adult services in British Columbia are for ages 19 and older. In certain communities, adults 55 and older have their own programs. Service Boundaries by Geography The responsibility of delivering adult mental health and addiction services and youth addiction services in British Columbia are administered on a geographic basis by five Regional Health Authorities: Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA), Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (VCHA), Interior Health Authority, Northern Health Authority, and Fraser Health Authority (see map page 5). Due to its large population base, adult mental health and addiction services and youth addiction services in Vancouver and Richmond are administered on a geographic basis by seven Community Health Areas: City Centre, Mid-East, Northeast, Westside, Midtown, South Van, and Richmond (see map page 6).

Brief Descriptions of Alcohol and Drug Services Available in British Columbia The right program for individuals with addiction or concurrent mental health/addiction issues depends on the needs of the individual. Detoxification (detox): a medical service designed to stabilize individuals who have consumed moodaltering substances to excess. Sudden cessation of alcohol or drugs in people who have consumed on a regular basis can lead to withdrawal. Since withdrawal can result in potentially life-threatening medical complications, around the clock monitoring by trained personnel is recommended. The length of stay in detox varies but is typically less than three days. Longer stays in detox may be required if opioids or alcohol are involved or if there are other medical conditions. During detox, little or no counselling is provided to the client. Outpatient treatment: a counselling service offered once or twice a week with, typically, one to three hours per session. Number of sessions may vary depending on the client s progress. Outpatient therapy can be one-on-one or in groups. A form of outpatient treatment called continuing care or aftercare is often utilized following completion of residential treatment. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) typically provide outpatient counselling as part of their service package. Day treatment: a type of outpatient counselling service typically offered 3 to 8 hours per day, several days (or nights) per week for several weeks. Day treatment is an alternative to residential treatment since the client returns home after treatment. Day treatment is also an alternative to standard outpatient treatment since it is more intensive and of shorter duration. Residential (or inpatient) treatment: sometimes referred to as primary treatment, this service is necessary when substance use has progressed to dependence. Residential programs provide around the clock supervision, group and individual therapy, education, meals, and accommodation. Facilities that provide residential treatment may also provide detoxification services. Sober (or transitional) living: a less-intensive residential service that is typically a minimum of 60 days in duration but can last as long as two years. Sober living is provided to clients who have completed residential treatment but require a greater level of support than what is available at home. The amount of time allocated to actual therapy, level of supervision, and qualifications of staff varies but is generally less than residential treatment. Clients may or may not be permitted to work while in sober living. Mutual support groups: peer-run groups provided at no or little cost to participants. Better known mutual support groups include Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Al-Anon/Alateen.
