Recovery Counselling Services is a team of experienced, qualified and caring health professionals dedicated to providing quality, out-patient, alcohol and drug counselling to adults and families.
Assessment Services:
Measures such as the Subtle Screening Inventory S.A.S.S.I. are employed including collateral information gathering from families, and other involved health professionals. Detailed life and drug use/abuse histories are taken and examined. Mental health issues are explored and assessed. Recommendations, based on the assessment, are then given to the client as to the best route to recovery.
Intervention
Training:
Often families are not sure how to encourage their using family member
to get help. We can meet with concerned friends and family and using
step by step methodology train the families to intervene on their loved
onešs addiction or alcoholism.
Individual Counselling :
In weekly or biweekly sessions clients are encouraged to identify
addictive patterns and relapse issues. Clients are supported as they
develop a personal recovery programme that best supports their quest
for recovery and total abstinence. As these supports are developed and
maintained, family, vocational, and relationship issues can then be
addressed.
Group Counselling:
In weekly or biweekly sessions clients are encouraged to identify addictive
patterns and relapse issues. Clients are supported as they develop a
personal recovery programme that best supports their quest for recovery
and total abstinence. As these supports are developed and maintained,
family, vocational, and relationship issues can then be addressed.
Early Recovery Groups & After-Care Service:
These groups provide a structure to assist chemically dependent people
in early, pre- or post-treatment recovery in maintaining total abstinence
from all mood-altering chemicals while offering support and encouragement
to members as they establish supports in the 12- step community. Ideal
for clients who may have received their primary treatment elsewhere
in the province. The treatment team at R.C.S. is available to consult
with the therapists and discharge planners at these in-patient settings
to arrange for continuing care and "follow-up" for mutual
clients.
Stage ll Recovery Groups:
These groups are for those who have been involved in recovery for at
least one year, have accepted their chemical dependency, and who wish
to work on issues that relate to their on-going recovery. Members are
attending their 12-step meetings on a regular basis and have developed
a positive relationship with their sponsors. They report that the groups
provide them with a forum wherein they can work on difficult and sensitive
issues in a supportive and honest environment.
Co-dependency
Groups:
For women only, these 12 week closed weekly group sessions help empower
women to look after them selves in a healthy and self-fulfilling way.
Often partners and parents of our chemically-dependent clients report
that they are reeling from the roller coaster ride of addiction and
have developed maladaptive coping skills. This support group allows
it's members some peace, some validation and help to develop new more
effective techniques to deal with the feelings aroused by the co-dependent
relationships they have found themselves in.
Intensive Out-Patient:
Some clients find that a combination of individual counselling and attendance
at one or more of our groups, in addition to A.A. or N.A., provides
them with the support and balance they need to sustain an effective
recovery without having to attend a centre.
Adolescent Services:
Chemically dependent teens and their families often have very special
needs. Special after-care and family groups are provided to meet their
requirements. Separate assessment, intervention, treatment planning,
and referral services are provided to families, agencies and schools
for this population. Adolescent Services
Parent Group:
This weekly group is designed to provide a therapeutic and supportive
forum for parents of teens who may or may not be in recovery. Parents
& guardians report that they felt they were alone until they joined
this group and began addressing specific issues common to families in
early recovery.
In-Patient Treatment:
In-Patient Treatment: Clients assessed as needing in-patient treatment
before they can access our services can be referred to a treatment centre
for primary treatment. We are experienced in matching clients with the
most appropriate centre's either in Ontario or out-of- province.
