Treatment at GATS is personalised to meet individual needs. A multidisciplinary team of specialist addiction and family therapists along with consulting psychiatrists, psychologists and other professional counsellors work cooperatively and consistently with total dedication in the best interests of each patient. Consulting medical services provide initial care and continuing support.

Many other programs treat only the symptoms of addiction. By focusing on the roots of individual patient disorders, GATS’ staff, identify and address the core patterns that have caused continual return to self destructive behaviours.

Aftercare, the vital factor in the continuing success of recovery, begins with admission and is interwoven throughout treatment to provide a supportive transition to the home environment.

Recovery is a path that many of the staff personally walk. Their understanding and respect for each patient's pain and despair comes from their own intimate experience with the addictions and abuses used to numb reality.

A goal-oriented schedule is customized around each patient's personal progress in recovery. Therapy options include work with a primary counsellor, small group sessions, spirituality counselling, lectures, educational videos, recreational and art therapy, nutrition counselling and community meetings. Peer support and interaction are integral parts of The GATS’ healing process.

If you or someone in your family would like to free yourself from the pain of the past and move forward to a more enriching life, you are invited to contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Intake Coordinators will discuss your preadmission concerns and answer your questions. All calls are confidential.
