Sober Living Programs in Vancouver, BC

Posted by on Aug 5, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Luke has been struggling with substance dependence off and on. He is currently sober and living in a Salvation Army shelter in Langley, BC. He no longer wants to be there anymore because he said he’s ready to try to move forward with his life. He contacted us for help getting into both treatment and sober living.

Our first suggestion was a program for men in Abbotsford called Kinghaven Treatment Centre, which has three options for treatment: a 70-day primary program, 90+ sober support recovery, and sober/staged living. We also suggested the MRTC but he said his problem originated in Maple ridge and didn’t want to go back to the area. We gave him his local Langley mental health and addictions office so that he could get the correct referrals for treatment.

We also gave a long list of other sober support homes that may be willing to take him pre-treatment while he waits for a place in a treatment program. He had mentioned that he had a phone call from Innervisions Recovery Society and was hoping to snag one of their Ministry of Health beds for treatment.

Luke seemed grateful over the phone and was happy that he’d found our hotline. He’d spent much of his day looking for local resources with no luck and said we were the first organization willing to spend time explaining all the options available to him.

Here is contact information for all the programs we recommended to Luke. If you believe you or your loved one is in a similar situation, perhaps this information will be useful. For additional support, feel free to contact us.
