Our Services

We provide free counseling services to youth, adults, couples, and families dealing with their own or someone else's substance use concerns. If you are a new client or returning to our Agency after three months since your last appointment, click on the INTAKE FORM button top right-hand corner to complete our Online Client Intake Form or download and print a copy. You may also complete an intake form in our office or request a fax or email copy be sent to you. Once we receive your complete Client Intake Form, we'll contact you from the nearest office within 2-3 business days to book a future appointment. If you are an existing client (session within the last three months) and want to book an appointment, connect with an office near you.

In addition, we assist with referrals to approved residential treatment and detox facilities in BC, hold weekly Methadone and Suboxone Clinic, offer harm reduction supplies and education, facilitate school and community educational programs, and offer our youth Teen Empowerment and Mastery Program (TEAM) and Rock Solid program. Please contact an office near you for further information.
