Our comprehensive recovery and relapse prevention program is designed to guide clients through every stage of their healing journey. It begins with orientation and educational sessions that prepare clients for the program’s intensity and help dismantle denial. These sessions include group topics such as cross-addiction, power and control, men’s issues in recovery, communication skills, developing twelve-step support networks, and an introduction to the initial steps of the twelve-step program.
The intensive phase of the program focuses on fostering personal insight into character defects, challenging irrational thought patterns, and initiating the essential healing process for sustained recovery. Our goal is to cultivate honesty, encourage adherence to individualized recovery plans, and teach clients to self-monitor their thoughts using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques. To support these objectives, clients participate in group sessions addressing topics such as guilt and shame, depression, releasing resentments, problem-solving, and group therapy, among others.
Relapse prevention is a critical component of our program, centered on developing a strong, personalized discharge plan. This phase prepares clients for successful reintegration into their communities, including returning to employment, education, stable social relationships, and overall post-treatment adjustment. Clients work with staff to create a long-term recovery plan and a realistic, supportive discharge strategy.
Throughout the entire program, individual counselling sessions are available to provide individualized support. Clients are also complete a detailed life history and maintain a daily journal to enhance self-reflection and growth.
Grounded in the Bio-Psycho-Social model of recovery, our program embraces a holistic approach that addresses the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction and healing
