Frequently Asked Questions
Payment options vary. Publicly-funded centers are often covered by provincial health plans (like OHIP in Ontario), but may have long waitlists. Private facilities typically require self-payment or private insurance. Contact the admissions department of any facility to discuss costs and payment options.
Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like PHP or IOP) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.
Canada is known for its high clinical standards in both public and private healthcare. Private rehabs often offer world-class care in serene, natural settings across the country, from the coasts of British Columbia to the countryside of Ontario, providing a peaceful environment for recovery.
You should typically bring about a week's worth of comfortable clothing, essential toiletries (alcohol-free), your ID and health card, and a list of important phone numbers. Most facilities will provide a detailed packing list. Leave valuables, electronics, and non-prescribed medications at home.

When comparing alcohol and drug rehab centers in Canada, consider clinical quality, level of care, location, and practical factors like private insurance coverage or out-of-pocket cost. Major hubs like Toronto and Vancouver offer a full continuum of care, while other areas provide smaller, retreat-style settings. Use this checklist when comparing rehab centers in Canada so you can match the level of care to your needs.
- Level of care: Does the program offer medical detox, residential treatment, and/or outpatient care?
- Co-occurring care: Can they treat co-existing mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, or anxiety?
- Insurance & payment: Are they a private facility, or is it a publicly-funded program covered by provincial health insurance?
- Specialty programs: Look for tracks for teens, veterans, professionals, or gender-specific care if relevant.
