Assessment, Treatment and Referral Services (Adult)
ADAPT’s addiction counsellors provide ongoing support to clients who are struggling with their substance use. We are pleased to offer both harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches to substance abuse issues.
Problem Gambling & Behavioural Addictions
ADAPT provides alcohol/drug use and problem gambling assessments for probation and parole clients as required by a court order and/or parole certificate. The assessment results in an individualized treatment plan tailored to client needs.
Days Ahead Program – Assessment, Treatment and Referral Services (Youth)
The Days Ahead Program assists individuals under the age of 25 by assessing their situation as it relates to drugs and/or alcohol (either their own use, or that of a family member). Part of the assessment will be to explore the impact drugs and alcohol has had on areas such as relationships, education, legal, recreation, physical, and emotional health. Once an assessment has been completed, a treatment plan will be developed that may include individual counseling, group work and external referrals to other services within the community. The Days Ahead program also works with parents and siblings who have been impacted by the substance user through education about substance use, dependence, and addiction; as well as providing support and strategies to cope with issues within the family. Consultation services are available for concerned individuals to problem solve specific situations. Anyone can call for this free service.
Community Justice Programs
ADAPT is pleased to offer a variety of Community Justice Programs to youth and adults. These programs include assessment, counselling and case management services. In addition to supporting the individual involved in the criminal justice system, assistance can be provided to the family or caregivers. If you would like more information on these programs, see “Community Justice” or call the Program Manager at 905-864-5042.
