Sobering-up treatment for mental health and substance abuse clients

Sobering-up treatment provides protection for intoxicated persons. Our goal is to oversee a person's health and safety when they are unable to take care of themselves due to their intoxication. During short-term sobering-up, we monitor the sobering process and assess whether there is a need for other treatment. If we notice the need for immediate medical care, we refer the person to other health care services. If a person has a substance abuse cycle, we motivate them to break the cycle and seek other substance abuse services, such as rehabilitation. We also provide guidance and support in the use of other social welfare and health care services. The sobering-up station provides guidance and advice on substance abuse treatment by telephone 24 hours a day. Sobering up-care is voluntary.
