Addictions treatment available

Adults struggling with drug or alcohol addiction have the option to receive outpatient treatment online through Edgewood Health Network (EHN) Canada. 

Through an agreement between the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and ENH Canada, adults from anywhere in the province that are 18 years and older and have a valid Saskatchewan health card may be able to access addictions treatment online. This flexible online option means you should be able to continue meeting work, school, and family responsibilities and commitments while receiving treatment for addictions.

Adults struggling with mild to moderate addictions can see if online outpatient treatment is right for them by referring themselves or through a referral from private mental health and addiction health care providers, SHA mental health and addictions providers, and physicians and nurse practitioners.

The online addictions treatment program is eight weeks in total and is followed by 10 months of supportive aftercare. The program also includes access to education and support for families, support persons, and loved ones of program participants.  

For more information or referrals, visit www.edgewoodhealthnetwork.com/iopsa-sask or call 647-430-1680.

A new virtual treatment option is available for adults with mild to moderate addictions. Treatment is free of charge with a valid Saskatchewan health card.
