Data from the surgical registry shows that about 80% of surgeries are completed within six months, and 90% within one year.

For people with more severe substance use problems, treatment often begins in a detoxification facility. Staff at these facilities work to provide a safe and comfortable environment in which the client is able to undergo the process of alcohol and other drug withdrawal and stabilization. Usually detoxification lasts seven to 10 days. During this time, clients return to normal daily living routines, participate in activities held at the facility, and are linked with resources in the community including self help groups.

Detoxification Services are offered at the following centres:

  • La Ronge (La Ronge Health Centre)
  • Lloydminster (Slim Thorpe)
  • Meadow Lake (Robert Simmard Centre)
  • Moose Jaw (Angus Campbell)
  • Prince Albert (MACSI)
  • Regina (Regina Detox)
  • Regina (Secure Youth Detox Centre)
  • Saskatoon (Adult Brief/Social Detox)
  • Saskatoon (Youth Stabilization, Calder Centre)
