The Youth Detox Services program is a voluntary-admission program which provides residential alcohol and drug detox and follow-up services for street-involved youth between the ages of 13 to 21. There are NO FEES for service.
This community-based program adheres to a harm reduction approach as the primary service delivery model. The focus is on reducing problem behaviours in order to reduce and/or eliminate the harm created by substance abuse. Total abstinence is supported and encouraged, which for some, is a necessary and achievable end.
The emphasis on voluntary admission respects the youth’s need to retain control and the right to contribute to his/her personal planning. The youth detox program will not detain youth against their will.
