Alcoholism and drug addiction centres in Newfoundland

There are no private residential centres for the treatment of alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling addiction or sex addiction in Newfoundland. Ledgehill Treatment and Recovery Centre in Nova Scotia is the closest private residential treatment centre for most Newfoundland residents, and is easy to reach.

For those Newfoundland residents who are unable to access an addiction treatment program in a private centre such as Ledgehill, there are some government services which may be of interest. The Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Health and Community Services maintains an Addiction Services web page detailing the services provided through the four regional health authorities – Eastern Health, Central Health, Western Health and Labrador-Grenfell Health.

There is a heavy emphasis on community-based support for those suffering from addiction, including outpatient counselling, early intervention and outreach for youth, adolescent day treatment, detoxification services, an opioid treatment centre and crisis support.

What our clients say…

"Ledgehill is a very nice place with very good people that helped me in taking the time to examine my life and recognize apsects of it that weren't working and why. I left with much greater clarity, self awareness and sense of purpose. This has allowed me to shed negative habits while directing myself more in a life style I want to live."

- S, Antigua, West Indies, Dec 2010

"I recently completed the program at Ledgehill and found the staff from kitchen to counsellors very supportive, knowledgeable and caring, the location and privacy is all first class, it was time and money well spent, the learning and tools are all there, it’s up to me from here on in. It was a great experience."
