About this service
Transitions is designed to help youth and their families with problematic drug and alcohol use achieve their goal of abstinence or reduction of harmful consequences of substance abuse. The program is voluntary, and offers non-medical support to youth in a private, safe, chemical-free, supportive care home setting.
We provide a safe placement emphasizing protective and supportive elements of family living while encouraging and providing opportunities for independent growth and responsible community living, mutual self-help, assistance in economic, educational, vocational and social adjustment, the integration of life skills into daily life, and a solid recovery plan.
Referrals can be made directly to the Transitions Program by social workers, substance use counsellors, probation officers, mental health workers, and/or other professional support workers.
Who can use it?
Youth 12-19 years of age
