Frequently Asked Questions
Does this only cover drug and alcohol addiction?
No. Addiction care at Elyséa HEALTH also covers behavioural addictions such as gambling or gaming, not just substance use.
Do I need to have "hit rock bottom" to seek help for addiction?
Not at all. Earlier intervention often leads to better outcomes, and support is available at any stage.
Will medication be part of my treatment?
Only where clinically appropriate. Many patients are supported through therapy alone, with medication considered on a case-by-case basis.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Your conversations with your clinician are treated with the same confidentiality as any other medical consultation.
