Mental Health and Addictions

Two people holding hands

At Nova Scotia Health, mental health and addictions professionals play a vital role in providing comprehensive care for individuals facing mental health challenges and substance use disorders. They assess patients' mental health status, develop personalized treatment plans, and provide therapy and counselling services to address underlying issues. 

These professionals may also collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure integrated care for patients with co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns. Their expertise helps destigmatize mental health and addiction issues while facilitating access to essential services and support within the hospital and the broader community.
