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. Two of the greatest barriers to early recovery are a healthy environment in which to start the recovery journey and working through obstacles as they arise. Residents in Recovery addresses both of these.

SOBER LIVING
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. The sober living program will support and encourage the struggling individual while they await treatment.

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.
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
The Residents in Recovery program and services can be accessed same day without any waiting period or appointment. Individuals that walk in off the street will be provided support on the spot. 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. Residents in Recovery is here to meet clients here they are at and work with them to find a solution that works.
