Recovery Program
Accessible - Confidential - Culturally Safe
Our Recovery Program currently offers support groups focusing on recovery from substance use and addiction challenges while nurturing mental wellness.
Recovery Support Groups
These groups are for people who live in Parksville, Qualicum Beach and surrounding areas, who are struggling with addiction and are committed to working toward a goal of reduction or abstinence. Our support groups use principles of ‘Recovery’ and ‘Recovery Capital’. Clients will develop increased self awareness, coping strategies and social support by sharing their own personal recovery experiences and challenges.
