Claresholm Centre for Addiction & Mental Health

Introduction
 

Welcome to the Claresholm Centre for Addiction & Mental Health - the focus of our Centre is to provide treatment and education for adults coping with a mental illness and who may also have chronic pain and addiction or benzodiazepine dependence with anxiety, in order to reach and maintain their overall mental health and well-being. Our programs aim to assist patients in managing their illness, increasing independence, and returning to their own community environment. The Centre has assisted individuals with bipolar disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, and other disorders.

Professionals at the Centre believe in each individual’s potential for development and success.  Our team includes nurses, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, physiotherapist,  recreational and occupational therapists, dieticians, pharmacists and other mental health providers. 

Our Centre is unique in the Calgary Health Zone as well as in Canada.  Serving Southern Alberta, the 100 bed inpatient, 40

outpatient, community focused psychiatric rehabilitation centre is located one hour south of Calgary in the welcoming rural community of Claresholm, Alberta. Individuals are placed in one of 3 program areas for their stay:

• Active Rehabilitation Program
• Concurrent Disorders Program
• Extended Treatment Program

Once a patient is ready for transition and re-entry into community living, follow-up support, outpatient programs, and outreach services are coordinated for patients. These form a comprehensive treatment model with various service options for patients.
