Humberwood Centre
What and Where is Humberwood?
Humberwood Centre is an inpatient treatment program operated by the Addictions Services
Division of the Department of Health and Community Services. It is set up to treat alcohol
and other drug dependent persons and their families. Humberwood offers hope to those who
want to be free from dependency on alcohol and other drugs. The Centre is located in
Corner Brook. Activities in the treatment program include group therapy, education
sessions, relaxation therapy, and family sessions.
The three week program at Humberwood includes three distinct phases. The program will
provide care for you free of charge.
- Week I
- Orientation
- Focus is on the physical aspects of dependency
- Week II
- Focus is on the emotional and personal aspects of dependency
- Week III
- Focus is on your relationships with family and others
Who Can Enter the Program?
The program is available to men and women eighteen years and older, who have an alcohol
or other drug dependency. The only requirements are that you must not have used alcohol or
other drugs for the five days prior to admission, and you must be willing to take part in
the range of activities during the three week program.
How Can I Enter?
In order to enter, you must first be interviewed by an Addictions Services outpatient
counsellor. After the interview, it will be decided whether your problem can best be
treated at Humberwood or through outpatient counselling.
What About Follow-up?
Follow-up is an important extension of the treatment process. At the end of your stay
at Humberwood, you will be referred to the outpatient staff of Addictions Services. They
will either provide you with follow-up service at your local Addictions Services office or
link you with a professional counsellor in your community.
