Fraser Valley Health Authority Detox Units

The mother in this blog, Kelly*, was looking strictly for detox. She knew about the public detoxes in FVHA and said that she’d been using our site for weeks to find support resources for her son and herself.
Her son, Adam*, remained sober for 8.5 months after treatment at Visionquest (a ministry of health facility). He has been using heroin and opiates for 10 years and has been in and out of residential treatment programs and jail for much of his young adult life.
Kelly really wants to help get Adam sober so that she could help him stabilize again. We gave her the fee-for-service options that will provide detox without needing them to complete treatment. Kelly was originally interested in Orchard Recovery’s 10-day program because they will support Adam through his withdrawals, but she wasn’t aware he’d be required to participate in treatment as well.
After explaining the fee-for- detox options, we discussed how Sunshine Coast Health Centre’s program may be a better fit when seeking treatment because of the strong mental health, non 12-step, evidence-based components. Adam would also see a psychiatrist to help diagnose mental health conditions.
