Your custom, individualized program is created to meet your needs depending on each type of addiction and your personal circumstances. Since it is likely that you will to be remaining in your home and your workplace, we include each of these components in your treatment as well as your aftercare program to establish and maintain your new healthy lifestyle.

We focus on a very distinct program of relapse prevention, as our primary goal once you have achieved sobriety and the tools to maintain it are of upmost importance.

The Family

We understand the affect a person’s addictive behaviour has on the family, both at home and in the workplace. We can maintain contact with the family throughout the treatment process, and whenever possible involve the family in their own counselling process for their own wellness and peace of mind. In addition, a program to help the family to unlearn all the unhealthy adaptive behaviours they have had to learn to deal with the loved one’s addiction.

We offer a periodic “Family Matters Program” to family members who have lost their way due to a loved one’s addiction. Please call us for more information.

Aftercare – Individual & Family

If you have attended a residential treatment program then we can provide aftercare and follow-up counselling and coaching for your continued growth and sobriety.

Our goal is a seamless transition from residential treatment to an outpatient-counselling program to assure the best results for new and healthy living and relapse prevention.

Intervention

“A process designed to convey love and concern – not anger and resentment”

We recognize that the addicted person is often the last to be aware that they have a problem or the severity of it. When they do, the pure nature of the disease can cause many forms of denial often signaling the person’s ego and self-pride to further run or hide and especially into deeper denial.

Intervention, when led by a professional, is extremely effective in helping people who are struggling to accept help. This includes the addicted person as well as the immediate family who have also been deeply affected by the disease and resulting actions of the addicted person.

Our skilled interventionist will travel to meet with your family and guide you through the very important process of intervening on your loved one who so desperately needs help.

You can feel confident that our interventionist will lead the intervention in a calming professional manner combined with compassion and the determination required to accomplish the task of having your family member realize that their only healthy option is to accept the gift of life you offer.

This is often a time of extreme stress for the family who has tried everything in their power to stop the addicted person’s behaviours. Please allow our interventionist to take the leadership and guide everyone to a successful result.

Please call Christine at: 604.568.0636 for information about interventions.
