Types of Treatment and Services Offered
Program Overview
The Concurrent Youth Unit (CYU) is a full-service inpatient hospital program dedicated to developmentally appropriate care of youth, 13-18 years old, who require inpatient treatment for "concurrent disorders": a moderate to severe substance use disorder and accompanying mental health challenges. This unit is the first of its kind in Canada and offers care to youth across Ontario.
We are dedicated to serving both the youth in our care and their families. Our interprofessional team is trained in providing care to youth with concurrent disorders and offer the following intensive and individualized treatments: medical withdrawal management, medication implementation and optimization, dialectical behaviour therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy, group, family, and individual therapy, academic support, and aftercare/discharge planning.
