What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Diagnostic evaluation: Clients undergo a diagnostic assessment at the beginning of care to determine the treatment plan.
• Daily assessments: Clinical staff perform daily assessments of withdrawal symptoms and progress. These assessments determine when clients in withdrawal management can decrease from checks every 30 minutes to hourly.

Who you will meet with

• Clinical staff: Clinical staff provide support during withdrawal management, with frequent check-ins and reassessments.

Typical schedule

• Withdrawal stabilization: Clients are observed closely for the first 24–72 hours. Symptoms and withdrawal progression are assessed daily, and observations become less frequent as clients stabilize.
• Planning for aftercare: Staff work with clients to determine the next appropriate level of treatment.

Living experiences and amenities

• Small facility with a recovery focus: The 15-bed facility is designed to support safety and comfort during the withdrawal management process.
• Frequent interactions with clinical staff: Clients are under close supervision during their stay, particularly for the first 24–72 hours.

Aftercare

• Transition planning: Because this program focuses on withdrawal management and stabilization, staff support clients in identifying suitable next steps for ongoing treatment. Programming may be available within the larger WestCare system.
