At the detoxification ward of Aurora Hospital, we treat patients who need 24-hour detoxification treatment from drugs or medicines.
The purpose of treatment is to stop long-term substance abuse, treat withdrawal symptoms and build a foundation for rehabilitation.
Our ward staff also start and end opioid substitution treatments and replace substitution treatment medication.
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.
