What Makes Aegis’ Program Shine
Aegis recognizes that alcohol addiction treatment must connect with the whole person. That means combining expert medical care with real-life understanding.
1. Medical Help That Meets You Where You Are
Whether it’s a first-time call or part of a longer journey, every step is handled with understanding and respect, right from the comfort of home.
Expert-led care, virtually offered
During treatment, you’ll meet privately with experienced addiction doctors through secure video calls. They’ll help you through withdrawal safely, find the right medications for your situation, and support you the entire way – from your first day through long-term recovery.
Craving relief through medication
Depending on one’s needs, medications like Naltrexone or Disulfiram may be prescribed to help reduce urges and ease withdrawal. Everything, from consultation to e-prescription to pharmacy pick-up, is managed online.
2. Understanding Beyond the Bottle
Healing from addiction involves more than just your body – it affects how you feel, your connections with others, and your everyday routines.
Private therapy tailored to you
Through video sessions, counselors help clients manage anxious feelings, stressful situations, and personal triggers. They provide real-world coping strategies while offering genuine support – helping individuals work through challenges and gradually rebuild their daily lives.
Community support when it matters
Recovery can be lonely. That’s why Aegis connects clients to peer-led groups, spaces where shared stories provide comfort and empowerment.
Quick in-person help
Beyond their core program, Aegis partners with Ontario’s RAAM clinics to provide extra assistance when needed. These walk-in clinics offer:
- Doctor supervision
- Counseling sessions
- Pharmacy support (often covered by OHIP)
This network of care means no one has to face recovery alone.
A Step-by-Step Journey to Healing
Every step is thoughtfully structured to meet people where they’re at, offering clarity, compassion, and control.
Schedule a free, confidential consultation
Book a session online or by phone. A short form and scheduling link welcomes you to explore support on your terms.
Meet your team
In a secure call, a specialist listens to your story without judgment, addresses safety, and outlines treatment goals.
Begin medication-assisted care
If right for you, medication is prescribed immediately. Suboxone isn’t used here, but Naltrexone or Disulfiram helps curb cravings and stabilize routine.
Start therapy and check-ins
Regular follow-ups by phone or video ensure medication is working well. Counselling and peer group options are tailored to your needs.
Stay supported on your terms
Flexibility is central: virtual visits, peer check-ins, or walk-in RAAM clinics depending on your comfort and needs.
Why Privacy and Choice Matter
Aegis keeps everything confidential and easy:
- Sessions via secure, PIPEDA-compliant platforms—no app installs, no waiting rooms.
- All services covered under OHIP—no surprise bills.
- Care shaped by the individual– not by schedules, geography, or stigma.
When someone says “I need help,” it’s crucial that barriers don’t repeat. Aegis aims to remove them entirely.
How to Encourage Someone You Care About
If someone in your life is struggling:
- Talk with compassion: “I believe in you, and help is easier than you think.”
- Describe Aegis’ model: no travel, no red tape, full OHIP coverage, virtual and in-person options.
- Suggest they take the first step to begin their alcohol treatment program and offer to help them schedule it.
Your listening and encouragement can be the encouragement that changes everything.
