Early recovery is a time of transition and one where aftercare support is critical to long term behavioural change. Our Aftercare group provides an opportunity for individuals to build on the foundation of recovery that was developed in a treatment program. 

FORMAT 

Weekly client driven group therapy inviting participants to share their real-life experiences of recovery, give feedback, challenge behaviours and thinking processes while being part of a supportive environment. Each group has one accredited counsellor who is trained in addiction treatment. Group sessions are two hours in length. The first hour is topic lead discussion and the second hour is group process on any issues the participants wish to bring to the group.
