The Reality of Addiction in Regina

Regina and Saskatchewan have been living through one of the most severe substance use crises in the country. Saskatchewan has recorded among the highest drug toxicity death rates per capita in Canada in recent years, driven largely by fentanyl and an increasingly toxic and unpredictable illicit drug supply. Regina, as the province’s capital and largest urban centre, has been at the centre of that crisis, with opioid-related deaths, overdose calls, and emergency department visits rising sharply across the city.

Beyond opioids, methamphetamine use has reached alarming levels in Regina and across Saskatchewan, affecting individuals and families in every neighbourhood and demographic. Alcohol addiction, historically high in Saskatchewan relative to national averages, continues to devastate communities, as do cocaine, benzodiazepines, and prescription drug misuse. The combination of economic stress, geographic isolation, a shortage of mental health resources, and deep-rooted stigma around seeking help has made addiction an especially difficult challenge to address in this province.

Saskatchewan’s publicly funded treatment system faces significant and well-documented capacity constraints. Residential treatment wait times regularly extend beyond several weeks, and for someone who has found the courage to reach out, that wait is too long. Private treatment removes that barrier entirely, allowing you to act in the moment that matters most.

Why Choose a Private Facility Outside Regina?

For Regina residents, travelling to St. Catharines for treatment means leaving the province, and for many people, that turns out to be one of the most important decisions in their recovery.

Complete separation from your environment. Regina’s social fabric, neighbourhoods, social circles, familiar routines, and local supply networks, can make early recovery extremely difficult. Travelling to Ontario places meaningful distance between you and every trigger in your daily life, creating the clean break that lasting recovery depends on.

Access to a nationally accredited program. Freeport Recovery is CARF accredited and LegitScript certified, independent verifications that our programs meet rigorous national standards for quality and safety. When you are investing in treatment and travelling to receive it, the quality and credibility of the program matters enormously.

Privacy across provincial lines. Regina is a relatively small capital city where professional, government, and social networks are tightly connected. Receiving treatment in another province offers a level of privacy and discretion that no local or Saskatchewan-based option can provide.

Immediate admission. In most cases, we can accommodate new clients within days of initial contact, significantly faster than publicly funded residential programs in Saskatchewan.

A therapeutic environment. Our St. Catharines facility offers access to outdoor space, physical fitness, and wellness modalities — a structured, immersive healing environment designed to support lasting recovery.

Programs We Offer

Freeport Recovery offers a full continuum of care designed to meet you where you are, whether you need intensive residential support or flexible virtual treatment.

  • Residential Treatment

    Our flagship program. You live at our facility full-time and engage in a structured daily schedule of individual therapy, group sessions, wellness activities, and personal development. Residential treatment is the most effective option for moderate to severe substance use disorders, and clients typically stay for 30, 60, or 90 days depending on clinical need. For Regina residents travelling to Ontario, residential treatment offers the most complete return on that investment — full immersion in a program designed for lasting recovery.

    Start Residential Treatment

  • Virtual Treatment

    For Regina residents who cannot travel for treatment, our virtual program delivers evidence-based addiction treatment entirely online. Sessions are structured, confidential, and led by our clinical team. This is a legitimate, evidence-informed path to recovery — and a meaningful option for Saskatchewan residents who need to begin treatment immediately without leaving home, or for those in smaller communities where travel presents a significant barrier.

    Start Virtual Treatment

  • Certified Recovery Counselling

    Ongoing one-on-one support with a certified recovery counsellor, designed for individuals in early recovery or those stepping down from residential care. Available remotely for Regina-based clients following discharge.

    Start Recovery Counselling

  • Aftercare

    Recovery doesn’t end at discharge. Our aftercare programming keeps Regina-based clients connected to their clinical team and peer community as they reintegrate into life back in Saskatchewan — a critical support layer for those returning home after residential treatment.

    See Our Aftercare Program

Substances We Treat

Freeport Recovery provides treatment for a wide range of substance use disorders, including:

  • Alcohol

  • Cocaine

  • Amphetamine

  • Opioid

  • Benzodiazepine

  • Prescription Drug

  • Cannabis

Many clients arrive with co-occurring concerns — anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges alongside their substance use. Our integrated approach addresses both simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We welcome clients from across Canada, including Saskatchewan. For many Regina residents, travelling to Ontario for treatment is not a barrier — it is part of what makes recovery possible. Our admissions team is experienced in helping out-of-province clients coordinate travel, manage logistics, and transition into treatment quickly and smoothly.

Most Regina clients fly from Regina International Airport (YQR) to Toronto Pearson (YYZ) — a flight of approximately 3 hours and 15 to 30 minutes. From Pearson, ground transportation to our St. Catharines facility takes approximately 1 hour via the QEW South. Our admissions team can help coordinate the ground transfer and ensure your arrival is seamless.

In most cases, we can accommodate new clients within a few days of initial contact — significantly faster than publicly funded residential programs in Saskatchewan, where wait times can extend several weeks or longer. We understand that the window when someone is ready to seek help is precious, and we move quickly to support it.

Freeport Recovery is a private treatment facility. Provincial health plans, including Saskatchewan Health Authority coverage, cover publicly funded addiction programs but not private centres. We offer flexible financing through our partnership with Medicard, which provides structured payment plans to make private treatment more accessible. Many clients also access funding through private health insurance or employee assistance programs (EAPs). Our admissions team will walk you through all available financial options before you commit to anything.

Residential treatment means you live at our facility in St. Catharines for the duration of your program, typically 30 to 90 days. It is the most comprehensive level of care and is recommended for moderate to severe substance use disorders, or for individuals who have attempted treatment before without long-term success. Virtual treatment is delivered entirely online and is a strong option for Regina residents who need to begin treatment immediately or cannot travel. Both programs are clinically structured and led by our treatment team.
Absolutely. Family involvement is an important part of the recovery process. Given the distance from Regina, most family participation is conducted remotely, through structured family sessions via video and telephone. In-person visits are also welcome for family members who are able to travel to St. Catharines. Our team will provide guidance on how to stay connected and supportive throughout the recovery process.
Our admissions team will send you a complete packing list after your intake call. Since you will be travelling by air, pack efficiently, comfortable clothing for therapy sessions and physical activities, personal hygiene items, any prescribed medications, and a few personal comfort items. Electronics policies vary, our admissions team will advise you during intake.
Yes, completely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our practice and is protected by law. Your treatment at Freeport Recovery will not be disclosed to employers, family members (without your consent), or any other parties. For Regina residents, particularly those in government, healthcare, trades, or public-facing roles, receiving treatment in another province offers a level of privacy that no local option can match.
