Substance Use Services

We deliver treatment services and hold a safe space for substance users who are looking to start their recovery journey.

Available programs

Qualifying clients, who are mostly mandated, will get to experience our trauma-informed care approach first-hand. We provide mental health and substance use screenings at our site locations and on our mobile unit. We also give clients access to our on-site nurse and psychiatrist.

Individual Counseling

Clients who are already enrolled in our First Steps outpatient care program will receive access to one of our substance use counselors who can provide essential support during their recovery journey. It's important for clients to work with our counselors to create a person-centered treatment plan that works for them and their lifestyle.
