Georgianwood Concurrent Disorders Program
Georgianwood Concurrent Disorders Program is a three-month residential program for people with both a substance use disorder and a mental illness.
The curriculum at Georgianwood is based on best-practice recommendations and is fully integrated (i.e., the addiction and the mental illness are treated at the same time by the same team in a cohesive way). Treatment includes cognitive-behavioural therapy for major depression and anxiety disorders, skills training for major mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, Seeking Safety for concurrent post-traumatic stress disorder, relapse prevention, motivational interviewing, and self-help group facilitation (e.g., AA & NA).
Georgianwood provides outreach and intake assessments as well as aftercare groups in the community and a telephone aftercare group for patients who reside in other parts of the province.
