RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES
It has been well documented that Medication-Assisted Treatment for drug addiction is far more effective in achieving stability or abstinence when paired with recovery support and counselling. We encourage all of our patients to take advantage of this service at The Nanaimo Pain Clinic while also engaging in a Methadone or Suboxone program.
We offer a safe place to discuss:
- relapse
- family
- relationships
- abuse
- trauma
- codependency
- depression/anxiety
- suicide
- grief and loss
- process addictions (i.e. gambling, sex, shopping, etc.)
- addictive behaviors and patterns
Further to this, The Nanaimo Pain Clinic encourages all stabilized patients to participate in the practice of goal setting and resource outreach with one of our onsite Mental Health and Addictions professionals. By adhering to a psychosocial model of rehabilitation, patients are invited to look at at all five elements of their wellness, including their social, emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual health, working together with our team to create a holistic approach to their individual healing and recovery.
If residential treatment is of interest, our MH + A support team can aid in making the appropriate arrangements between the patients and the facility.
12-step participation (i.e. NA, AA, CA, etc.) is not mandatory, however it is very strongly recommended. Speak to our team to find a meeting near you today.
