- Everything looks fine from the outside. It doesn’t feel that way.

Home treatment lets you stay in familiar surroundings, with a support person and local GP involved. Residential care provides support in a dedicated setting and may be more appropriate for some needs. The right choice depends on your assessment.
Read the home care and rehab comparisonConfidentiality
Your care.
Your privacy.
Knowing who needs to be involved can make the first step feel easier.
A support person and your GP.
You will need a close friend or family member to support you through your detox and to inform your local GP you are going through the program.

Clean Slate does not routinely notify employers. Discuss your work and any time you may need off with the team.
