Steps to Begin Your Recovery Rehab Admission Process

Initial Inquiry

A Safe First Conversation

Admissions begin with a confidential inquiry by phone, email, or secure online form.
Individuals, families, and referring clinicians are all welcome to reach out.

During this first conversation, our admissions team will:

  • Listen carefully to the reason you are seeking support
  • Provide a clear overview of our residential programs and therapeutic approach
  • Answer practical questions about treatment structure, length of stay, and next steps

There is no pressure to commit. This conversation is about understanding your needs and exploring whether Breakthrough may be an appropriate and supportive fit.

Confidential Clinical Assessment

Understanding the Whole Person

If treatment appears appropriate, a confidential clinical assessment is scheduled with a qualified professional.

This assessment helps us understand:

  • Substance use or behavioural patterns
  • Co-occurring mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or emotional dysregulation
  • Medical history and current medications
  • Psychosocial factors, relationships, and daily functioning

The purpose of this assessment is to ensure safety, appropriateness, and individualized care not diagnosis for its own sake. We take a whole-person, trauma-informed view, recognizing how stress and lived experience shape coping patterns.

Personalized Treatment Recommendation

Care Designed Around You

Based on the assessment and screening process, our clinical team develops a personalized treatment recommendation.

This may include:

  • Residential substance use treatment
  • Behavioural addictions treatment
  • Integrated mental health and psychiatric support
  • Trauma-informed therapy and emotional regulation work

Recommendations are discussed openly and transparently, allowing individuals and families to understand the clinical rationale, level of care, and structure of treatment being recommended.

Admission Planning & Preparation

Reducing Stress Before Arrival

Once a decision is made to proceed, our admissions team supports you with planning and logistics, including:

  • Scheduling an admission date
  • Guidance on what to bring and how to prepare
  • Travel coordination, if required
  • Communication with family members or professionals, with consent

We aim to reduce uncertainty during this transition, helping you feel prepared, supported, and informed before arrival.

Arrival & Orientation

Grounding, Safety, and Stabilization

The intake process includes:

  • Medical and psychiatric intake, as needed
  • Orientation to the program, routines, and expectations
  • Introduction to the clinical and support team
  • Time to settle in, ground, and begin stabilization

Care begins immediately, with an emphasis on safety, clarity, and emotional grounding.
