About this service
PURPOSE Indigenous Detox Support Workers Program can help clients achieve a healthier and satisfying life free from alcohol and drug use. This is an important part of our mission to improve health outcomes to Indigenous people living in the Vancouver area. Our Indigenous Detox Support Workers connect with Indigenous clients through coordination with Vancouver Coastal Health Withdrawal Management Services. The client is typically connected to the Indigenous Detox Support Worker, while they are attending detox. PROCESS Step 1: _x0007_If a client is exiting the Withdrawal Management Services, we will set up an Initial Meeting. Step 2: _x0007_The client and worker develop the Client Action Plan, and the plan is made to be suitable to your personal needs. This plan helps the client build appropriate personal support networks and connect with community. _x0007_ The plan consists of connecting the client with resources for shelter or housing, food, and other basic issues that clients face after detox. _x0007_ As well, we connect clients with drug and alcohol counselling, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and sponsors. HOW WE CAN HELP: Once we have connected with you, we will make sure you receive the help you need to achieve good health. Be connected to appropriate community support agencies.
