Our philosophy of treatment is supported by evidence based research and best practices. We implement treatment approaches that are proven to be the most effective in treating addictions. We embrace a motivational, solution- focused therapy with a focus on self-determination and the client taking responsibility for their life and recovery. We approach our clients in a non-judgmental, non-coercive manner and are client centered. We do, however, address addictive behaviours and distorted thinking patterns, and challenge clients to become aware of these.

We address addiction as a complex bio-psycho-social phenomenon that cannot be addressed with one-dimensional interventions. We, therefore, address all the different areas of a person’s life such as social, occupational, spiritual, emotional, physical and thinking (i.e. a wellness, balanced approach to life.) We attempt to make treatment interventions individualized to the client’s specific needs and stage of recovery. We view recovery as a process that is not linear in progression. We, therefore, provide clients with coping skills that sustain their recovery, even if they have temporary setbacks.
