Bridging the Gaps
Bridging the gaps between detox or jail and residential treatment, combined with wrap around services in early abstinence, greatly increases the chance of a successful recovery.

Residents in Recovery addresses both of these.

A healthy environment is paramount for a successful recovery program. The Early Abstinence sober living program is accessible to both men and women that struggle with addiction. The only requirement for admission is that they have been clean and sober for a period of seven days and plan on attending a residential treatment program. A seamless transition from detox, jail or any other environment will be facilitated by Residents in Recovery.

WRAP AROUND SUPPORT
Residents in Recovery provides support in all areas of the client's lives. We work to eliminate or minimize the impact of barriers on an individuals recovery journey. This process starts even before individuals become clients. We will arrange detox and provide transportation. Unfortunately transportation is one of the greatest barriers in a rural city such as Lloydminster. We will then work with them to arrange counselling, doctors, psychiatrist, dentist, probation and other appointments as well as provide transportation to these appointments. We work with our clients to resolve identification issues, income support issues, child and family services issues and much more.

Once an intake is completed, and the individual is not under the influence they could in fact start daily programming the same day. Services such as arranging detox, setting up counselling appointment or working on treatment applications can also be addressed in the same day. Individuals no longer have to wait days, weeks or months to receive the help they so desperately want and need.
