At the detoxification ward, we treat patients who need 24-hour detoxification treatment.
The purpose of treatment is to stop long-term substance abuse, treat withdrawal symptoms and build a foundation for rehabilitation.
Our team includes a doctor, nurses, practical nurses and a social instructor.
You can access detoxification treatment by contacting the Substance Abuse Outpatient Clinic or Pysäkki Substance Abuse Services for Young People. You can also get a referral from a health station or the Emergency Services.
We also initiate opioid substitution treatments.
