Years ago, many Canadians chose to seek treatment for drug and alcohol addiction in the US. This was largely due to the financial benefits thanks to OHIP taking care of the expenses. Things may have changed over the years, but many Canadians still choose to seek treatment outside of their home country for a number of reasons. Of course, if you have a criminal record, it can severely hinder to chances of leaving the country.
One main reason for travelling to the US for treatment is that the particular form of treatment is simply not available in Canada. Specialty treatments like horse wrangling to assist with addiction problems is popular in the States and attracts many locals and foreigners. The US is also home to cutting-edge clinical trials and treatments that are not being performed anywhere else in the world. There are also some facilities that attract Canadians purely due to the luxury aspect. Plastic surgeons in the US are also sought out for their superb and superior skills when it comes to reconstruction work. For those who have been injured in a fire, an accident, or even born with certain undesirable features, a US surgeon could be the answer and the way to change their life.
Apart from substance abuse issues, other medical issues like anorexia and bulimia often require substantial intervention by medical professionals. It’s not only about the body but also the mind and, without proper treatment, the patient can experience life-threatening complications (like heart problems) and even death.
Even an old criminal record can keep Canadians from benefiting from the amazing forms of treatment available in the US. Fortunately, when you obtain an entry waiver, you will be able to travel across the border to get the help you so desperately need. While the entry waiver application process requires a fair amount of documentation, time, and patience, it is always better than trying to sneak across the border without one. Entering the US illegally can result in detention and even property seizure without an entry waiver. It will also remain as a kind of black mark against your name so, even if you try to enter legally in the future, they could very well deny you entry! In short – it’s simply not worth the risk to enter without an entry waiver.
