Substance Dependence Program
Westover Treatment Centre offers a three week residential co-educational treatment program for up to 25 clients. The curriculum utilizes the 12-step model in addition to current modern therapies and follows a three-week rotation. Our program is highly structured and includes individualized counseling, videos, discussions, lectures and recreation.
The six-month Aftercare Program is an essential continuation of the residential phase. Our program utilizes a variety of methods to assist our clients:
- To gain an understanding of addiction as a primary illness
- To recognize the thinking patterns that have established the need for alcohol or drugs
- To make a commitment towards accepting personal responsibility for maintaining abstinence in recovery
- To make changes in thinking, feeling and actions necessary towards a renewed value system
Clients are referred to Westover by our Referral Agencies, as well as doctors, social service agencies, withdrawal management services, employee assistance groups, probation/parole departments as well as family and friends.
