ADAPT offers individual and group counselling/support to those who are affected by someone else’s alcohol use, drug use, problem gambling, or behavioural addiction. ADAPT has found that the best way for family and friends to gain the support and knowledge they seek is to first attend our 7-week virtual Family and Caregiver education group Foundations for Families, designed with information specific to their concerns. If additional support is required after attending the group, individual counselling services can be arranged.

*The person you are concerned about does not need to be a client of ADAPT in order for you to access our services. All groups are free and completely confidential.

 

Family and Friends Audio Information Package (Adult)

ADAPT has created an audio information package containing a series of information recordings and accompanying PDF documents. The package outlines ways individuals can support themselves and other family and friends who are coping with the effects of a loved one’s substance use. The 90 minute audio package covers the six topics: substance use addiction and mental health; tolerance dependence withdrawal; stages of change; communication; boundaries; and resources. APDF outlining major points accompanies each session.

The package is available by contacting ADAPT Clinical Intake at 905.639.6537 ext. 0.
