Withdrawal Management Services strives to provide a caring, non-judgmental, safe and supportive environment to those who are withdrawing from mind and mood altering substances.
This is a Christ-centered recovery program. We assist our program participants with information about recovery, post-detox planning, access to treatment referral agencies, and support their choices. Our mission is to serve our program participants with compassion, dignity and respect.
Core Values:
There are four core operational values which guide all aspects of The Salvation Army in Canada & Bermuda.
HOPE: We give Hope through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. SERVICE: We reach out to support others without discrimination. DIGNITY: We respect and value each other, recognizing everyone’s worth. STEWARDSHIP: We responsibly manage the resources entrusted to us.
What We Provide:
Withdrawal Management Services (WMS) is a non-medical, social detox program that provides a safe environment for men and women experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal from alcohol or other substance abuse. All clients will be assisted in developing a personal care plan; will be provided with information about addictions and re-covery; and will be supported in making positive lifestyle choices.
Admission Criteria:
The main criteria for admission as an out-patient or in-patient to WMS is a desire on the part of the program participant to begin the process of change.
The person who wants to come to WMS will need to sign a “Client Agreement Form” which states that she or he will agree not to use alcohol or non-prescription drugs while taking part in the WMS program. If he/she “uses” during this time they may no longer qualify for participation in the withdrawal management program.

Additional Information:
The first phase is a two-week program with a total of 6 bed spaces in three rooms for residential participants.

These rooms are provided to successful applicants immediately after completing the two-week WMS program, or to past program participants returning from Alcohol and Drug Treatment programs down south and who require a supportive after-care program.
