A Guide to Virtual Addiction Treatment
Reach Your Addiction Recovery Goals from the Comfort of Home
At Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres, we believe that addiction recovery should be accessible to everyone. Our virtual program is owned and administered by Canada’s largest network of accredited providers of recovery programs for substance use and addictions, and is aimed at bridging the gaps of traditional rehab programs.
It’s not always practical or possible to fully immerse yourself in an in-person rehab program. Virtual addiction treatment offers flexible options that are personalized to your needs and schedule, connecting you with compassionate experts and a group of peers to support you as you heal.
How Does Online Addiction Treatment Work?
Online addiction treatment is an alternative to traditional inpatient rehab, allowing clients to access the same standard of care while continuing to live at home, enabling them to maintain their responsibilities and remain connected to their social networks throughout their recovery.
Our online addiction treatment program provides a continuum of care tailored to each individual. Participants attend scheduled virtual addiction meetings that are led by certified clinicians and provide a safe, non-judgmental space to share your experiences and connect with peers on similar journeys.
Unlike inpatient addiction treatment, online rehab clients are able to apply the new skills and strategies they learn in real time to the challenges of their daily environments. It’s a practical, integrated approach that can be adapted over time to hone and reinforce positive behaviours.
Core Components of Online Addiction Treatment
Our virtual intensive outpatient program offers clients the benefits of intensive inpatient treatment in a format that removes barriers to access. While not right for everyone, many clients with less complex needs find that virtual care is a convenient and effective treatment option. This program can be customized with additional supports as needed, and is built on the following components of care:
- Individual Behavioural Therapy
- Family Communication Sessions
- Partner Support
- Skill Building
- Group Therapy
- Support for Co-Occurring Disorders
- Specialized Streams
- Aftercare
- Education Resources

Benefits of Online Addiction Treatment
Virtual addiction medicine offers a convenient and flexible alternative to inpatient rehab, providing a solution when attending in-person treatment is inconvenient or impractical.
Accessible
The best recovery program for you matches your addiction treatment goals with where you are in your life. Clients enrolled in online addiction treatment can balance the demands of their daily routines with treatment sessions, and is an ideal option for clients living in remote or underserved areas. Unlike in-person drug rehabs, there is no need to make arrangements such as taking time off work to access treatment.
Flexible
We understand that you shouldn’t have to put life on pause to reach your recovery goals. Choose from a variety of virtual outpatient program options, including part-time and evening schedules that allow you to access discreet, flexible care that can be balanced with your existing work, school, or family obligations.
Private
Seeking addiction recovery treatment is a sensitive issue for many, and demands the same safety and confidentiality as any other aspect of your health. Our virtual recovery program runs on secure servers that meet all regulatory requirements for healthcare, keeping your information and anonymity protected.
Affordable
For those able to thrive in a virtual treatment setting without having to leave their regular routines, the cost of treatment is lower considering that meals and accommodations are not included. Finding the right clinical setting to meet your needs should always be the priority when choosing a recovery program.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Virtual Addiction Treatment?
The immersive environment of inpatient rehab benefits many people, so online rehab isn’t the right fit for everyone. Our team will assess your needs and determine whether virtual addiction treatment is the best course of action for your recovery journey.
If you are highly motivated to break free of a substance use disorder or behavioural addiction, have a strong support network, and do not require inpatient care, our virtual intensive outpatient program may be the best fit for you.
Candidates for virtual addiction treatment are individuals who:
- Do not require intensive services or inpatient care
- Have a strong network of social or family support
- Have busy lives or commitments that they cannot put on hold
- Can abstain from drug use in their regular routine and setting
