Our main program, that is, treatment with accommodation, revolves essentially around three types of structured activities: group activities, thematic workshops and sharing activities. In addition, each person accommodated benefits from a personalized follow-up. In addition, there are physical activities, periods of personal work or reflection and periods of tasks.

Admission conditions
Each individual must be intellectually fit to receive treatment and physically able to move around the premises. A person wishing to be admitted to treatment must first be assessed to ensure that the services offered by the Pavillon de l'Assuétude meet their needs. In addition, the individual must demonstrate a degree of motivation necessary for change. This level of motivation is evaluated using the RCQ questionnaire which tells us at what stage of change the person accommodated is. The level of motivation must be supported by constant efforts as well as by compliance with regulations and the code of conduct, to which the person must commit. During the admission process, the counselors and the admission team will carry out the NiD-ÉP assessment to ensure that the Pavilion is the right resource for the person. The staff of the Pavilion is trained and recognized as competent by the CIUSSS for the completion of this assessment tool. All admissions are Monday through Thursday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
