Recovery from mental illness and substance use is an ongoing journey. Often, our specialized programs are only one part of that experience. The Red Fish Healing Centre for Mental Health and Addiction and the Heartwood Centre for Women are for people with severe and complex mental health and substance use challenges. For some people who have completed their treatment in those programs, it’s helpful to “step down” into a less-intensive care program that offers ongoing support. This is helpful for patients or clients as they prepare to transition back into community-based care with their local health authority.
You can expect a program tailored to your individual rehabilitation and recovery needs. Options include the following:
- Ongoing mental health and substance use assessment and support
- Crisis intervention (if you need it)
- Coordinated psychiatric and medical treatment
- Life and social skills building
- Drug and alcohol recovery and counselling programs
- Job skills training and education
- Peer support
- Advocacy
- Coordination with other resources you may need, such as housing, social services and other programs
The time you spend in the Rehabilitation & Recovery Program will depend on your individual needs and progress. Most people finish the program within six to 12 months and transition to community services closer to home.
Your care team, who will work with you on your recovery, include the following:
- Psychiatrists
- Physicians
- Nurses
- Social workers
- Vocational counsellors
- Rehabilitation workers
- Leisure workers
The Rehabilitation & Recovery Program is for voluntary clients or patients who have completed treatment at the Red Fish Healing Centre for Mental Health and Addiction or the Heartwood Centre for Women, and who are medically stable.
