Campbell River Sobering and Assessment Centre
The Campbell River Sobering and Assessment Centre will assist people struggling with substance abuse and addiction. The location will also be convenient for people relying on street level services for food and shelter as well as addiction challenges. The facility will operate 24 hours a day and offer up to nine sobering beds that will provide short-term services (up to 24 hours) for persons of any gender aged 17 and older who is intoxicated due to drug or alcohol use.
The Sobering and Assessment Centre is provided through the Vancouver Island Mental Health Society (VIMHS). VIMHS was awarded the Island Health contract to operate a sobering and assessment centre in downtown Campbell River.
VIMHS is a registered charitable non-profit Society first organized by a group of concerned citizens in 1977 with financial support from the Knights of Columbus. VIMHS currently owns and operates five facilities in Nanaimo, B.C., serving approximately 80 adults at any given time by providing continuous support for individuals with mental health, addiction, and/or cognitive challenges. Our philosophy of care is grounded in psycho-social rehabilitation.
