Detoxification Unit

Our 25 bed non-medical detoxification centre provides a safe place for supervised withdrawal from the effects of an individual's last substance abuse episode. The service is provided at no cost to adults who are assessed to be appropriate for our non-medical setting. The current average stay is 10 days.

Additional information about access to our detoxification services:

  • the unit serves both male and female adult clients;
  • all interested clients are first assessed for suitability for our non-medical program;
  • all incoming clients must provide a MSP Medical Clearance form completed in detail by their physician;
  • all incoming clients are expected to bring sufficient medications for the entirety of their stay (it is recommended that medication be bubble packed and limited to the amount required for one’s stay in Detox);
  • once all necessary intake information and paperwork is provided by the client, an appointment for full intake will be given - this will usually occur within 12 to 48 hours, but can vary dependant upon demand;
  • all incoming clients must agree to adhere to all house rules while in residence;
  • all incoming clients must agree to submit to drug use testing while in residence within the unit.

Main Street Project's detox unit is not a treatment program. Our experienced staff will work to support each client in establishing a plan of action suitable to their needs. Duration of stay can vary dependant upon the clients' individual circumstances.
