A 12-Step Based Recovery Model
Main Centre Program
OUR APPROACH
Residents that participate in the main centre program have access to a rotating group of facilitators that provide a unique perspective on the key points of recovery from addiction. Together We Can recognizes that everyone has a different learning style and by having a mixture of viewpoints, residents are able to grasp key concepts and incorporate them into their daily lives. Starting from a 12-step based approach, residents are taught new values and principles and are given the opportunity to learn more about personal accountability. By unpacking the behaviours and emotions associated with their addiction, residents can begin to learn healthy coping methods that will enable them to make better informed and positive decisions in the future. In a private, one-on-one setting, residents work with qualified therapists and addiction counsellors to uncover past traumas, learn how to express their emotions and are given space to freely talk about any issues that may be attributed to their substance misuse.
COMMUNITY BASED APPROACH
Community and peer support is a key concept at the main centre. Residents are encouraged to build relationships with their peers and alumni so they can get the perspective of others who may have experienced the same or similar struggles in their past. This method helps to normalize the confusion and mix of emotions a new person in recovery often experiences. The opposite of addiction is connection and TWC makes every effort to aide a resident in building a supportive network of individuals in recovery that often form into life-time friendships.
