Alcochoix+ program

This prevention program is for people who have 10 to 35 drinks a week. Alcochoix+ is an opportunity to reflect on drinking habits and identify concrete ways to change them.

Youth addiction services

Specialized youth addiction services are for teenagers between 12 and 17 years old, in or out of school, with problems related to drug, alcohol or screen abuse or addiction. These services aim to help young people manage or end their substance use or addiction.

Specialized workers use standardized tools to assess the problem and its impact on various spheres of the teenager’s life. The youth is provided with support to help in their personal reflection at home, in groups or one-on-one.

If necessary, a young person can be referred to a specialized residential youth centre. All addiction services are offered on a voluntary basis, and are personalized and adapted to individual needs.

To learn more, watch the followingvidéo (in French only), ) in which a member of our team, Natasha Carvalho, presents our services.

Service Entourage-Jeunesse

This service is for parents or parental figures who have a relationship with a teenager suffering from alcohol, drug or screen abuse or addiction, regardless of whether the youth is being followed by one of our services.

This service is offered via videoconference, in limited, open and continuous groups. There are 6 one-hour workshops, held once a week. Parents are accompanied by a specialized youth addiction worker in a process to improve their understanding and their well-being as they deal with their teenager’s choices.

Whether you are a teenager or a parent, if you wish to receive addiction services, do not hesitate to call Info-Social at 811.

Specialized inpatient services

The CISSS des Laurentides offers residential detox and rehabilitation services to people dealing with addiction. Detox, when required, is the first step in a process to end use. Ending substance use or gambling leads to a disequilibrium that causes symptoms of physical and psychological withdrawal. Given that each person’s recovery process is unique, the CISSS offers a personalized stay adapted to each person’s needs. Throughout the process, medical and psychosocial professionals provide safe and compassionate withdrawal management.

Substitution therapy

Substitution therapy services are offered to people who have developed an opioid addiction (heroin, Dilaudid, OxyContin, Demerol, etc.). Medical and psychosocial services allow the person to reduce their urge to use as well as the damaging effects of opioid use, to reach an effective dose of the substitution medication and, if desired, to start a process of change for other substance use habits.

Social and professional reintegration

The addiction program services also provide support for social and professional reintegration. Throughout the process, specialized addiction workers offer methods and activities to improve quality of life.

Impaired driving assessment and risk reduction program

The CISSS des Laurentides is mandated by the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) to assess drivers found guilty of impaired driving. In accordance with Québec’s Highway Safety Code, anyone found guilty of impaired driving must respect certain conditions to keep their driver’s licence or obtain a new one. The SAAQ requires these people to be assessed to ensure that there is no incompatibility between their substance use habits and the safe operation of a road vehicle. This assessment must be performed by an accredited evaluation officer. The CISSS relies on a team of accredited evaluating officers for the residents of the Laurentians.

For more information, consult the Programme d’évaluation et de réduction du risque de conduite avec les capacités affaiblies (PERRCCA)

Services for family and loved ones

The addiction of a loved one—a spouse, parent or child—has a direct impact on their inner circle. This service is for members of the immediate family (father, mother, sister, brother, spouse, child over 18 years of age) or any other person who has a significant relationship with the person suffering from the addiction. It is not necessary for the person with the addiction to be followed by our establishment for a member of their circle to access the services. Support is provided by a specialized worker in a personalized process to improve their well-being and their relationship with the person suffering from the addiction. They can also contribute to the rehabilitation process of the person with the addiction.
