Clinic Principle

Our clinic's principle can be thought of as the three I’s system:

 

  1. Information

  2. Involvement

  3. Interaction

​

Let’s explore what this system means to you:

Information

Our team has experience in treating substance use disorders of different types and severities.

​

Whether the situation is low-risk or high risk, we educate and provide guidance for our patients regarding substance use.

 

Harm reduction is of great importance when dealing with substance use disorders (SUDs). We educate our patients on safer substance use while breaking down the stigma surrounding SUDs/Addiction.

SUDs tend to be correlated with other underlying aspects, either physical, mental, and/or emotional.

 

Our team implements a holistic approach to treatment. Our treatment looks at SUDs, with an effort to understand everyone to our best abilities.

 

We believe this approach in our patient’s journey is a key aspect of long-term success.

Involvement

SUDS Clinics stand out when compared to other addiction clinics since our hands-on treatment plans are created with the cooperation of the patient.


We respect and understand that substance use disorders are unique to each individual and should be treated as such.

  • Provide a judgment-free safe space

  • Work intimately with our patients

  • Create achievable, realistic goals

  • Actively review medications

  • Adjust treatment plans

  • Withdrawal Management

  • Provide support**
     

**Patients receive continuous support throughout their care with SUDS Clinic. Our team members are a solid support system to accompany patients throughout their journey.

Interaction

Team-patient bonding is an aspect we hold in high regard. Our team understands the importance of a connection between the caregiver and the patient. We believe this can play an influential role in the patient's journey.

 

As our team members provide continuous support, we strive to keep in touch with our patients. Depending on their treatment plan, patients can follow up with team members on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

 

*Patients are welcome to contact the clinic Monday-Saturday for additional support*

Substance Use Education

Our team of healthcare professionals are equipped with training to educate patients on topics regarding:

 

  • Harm reduction

  • Health Risks

  • Mental Health

  • Evolved Coping Skills

Support

Individuals at any point of their substance use journey benefit from support, especially from an outside view.

 

Patients who receive support have positive impacts, leading to a better quality of life.

 

Consistency is what we practice and preach. Supporting patients consistently results in lifestyle improvement.
