Access Central - Detox Referral Line
Addictions / Substance Use and Housing / Shelter
Provided by Vancouver Coastal Health
A screening and referral telephone line that provides both youth and adults access to withdrawal management services and addiction housing. Lines open 7 days a week, 9:00 AM - 7:45 PM.
People who require detoxification receive immediate screening by health care workers, who set up appointment times with the provider that most suits a client's needs. Methadone-using clients wanting to withdraw from other substances will be accepted.
The program also provides housing information, screening, referral, and placement services for adult men and women who are dealing with addiction issues.
Referrals are made to low-threshold supported housing (for those who may not be abstinent nor actively engaged in addiction treatment) or to alcohol and drug-free supported housing.
