PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT FOR PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, TREATMENT & RECOVERY
At A & D Referral Services, we provide professional, confidential, compassionate, and faith-informed services for individuals and families affected by substance use and behavioural addictions.
We understand that no two recovery journeys are the same. Some people need assessment and clarity. Others need therapy, structured treatment, rehabilitation, family support, or ongoing aftercare.
Our role is to help you understand what is happening, what level of support is needed, and what to do next.

What the service includes:
- Drug testing for approximately 12 commonly abused substances
- Comprehensive alcohol and drug assessment
- Addiction Severity Index (ASI)

REHABILITATION REFERRAL & TREATMENT COORDINATION
he right treatment starts with the right recommendation.
Not every person struggling with addiction needs the same type of treatment.

Following assessment, we help individuals and families understand appropriate treatment options and facilitate referrals to suitable treatment providers.
Our role may include:
- Treatment needs assessment
- Level-of-care recommendations
- Rehabilitation referrals
- Liaison with treatment facilities
- Treatment planning
- Family guidance
- Treatment coordination
- Follow-up and aftercare planning
We help you make informed treatment decisions instead of rushing into the first available option.
INPATIENT REHABILITATION REFERRAL
When a structured residential environment is needed.
Some individuals require a higher level of care because of the severity of their substance use, withdrawal risks, repeated relapse, unsafe environments, or inability to maintain recovery in an outpatient setting.
Where indicated, we facilitate referrals to appropriate inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
Residential treatment may provide access to:
- Medical and psychiatric care
- Detoxification where clinically appropriate
- Nursing care
- Structured daily routines
- Individual and group therapy
- Recovery education
- Family support
- Relapse prevention
- Aftercare planning
The goal is not simply to remove someone from their environment. It is to provide the structure and professional support necessary for recovery.

Returning home after treatment can bring new challenges.
Aftercare provides continued support as individuals transition back into everyday life.
