Adult Withdrawal Management and Stabilization Services (Detox) 

Medically supervised facilities for adults seeking safe withdrawal from alcohol and/or drugs. Length of stay typically varies from 3 to 7 days, depending on the substance from  which the individual is withdrawing. Throughout the entire stay we provide 24-hour nursing care in addition to access to an on-site physician. The Adult Withdrawal Management service operates out of two locations, our Hwy 33 site in Rutland and on Royal Avenue in downtown Kelowna. The service is free and self-referrals are accepted.
