Dr. Lemmo believes that continuous, proper long term support is critical for recovery especially during the beginning stages of treatment. Consequently, he has established relationships with a private residential facility that supports Dr. Lemmo's naturopathic medical care along side standard treatment approaches in a beautiful, compassionate, and serene environment found simply 40 minutes outside of Vancouver, British Columbia. This facility is the only residential addiction recovery centre in North America where people can receive naturopathic & orthomolecular medical care along side a conventional residential treatment program (i.e. 12 Step Recovery) for addiction recovery. In addition, the centre provides people with nutritious foods, an exercise facility, comfortable & private living quarters, all situated in a beautiful island community. During the recovery process patients are advised on suitable diets, exercise programs, supplements and detoxification programs which are targeted to aid in the detoxification & recovery process. All treatments are tailor to each person. Counselling & support services are available throughout a persons stay at the treatment centre to help with the very important emotional & spiritual aspects of the healing process. Patients will have 24/7 support provided by support staff, and 24-hour on-call naturopathic care.
