Supportive Recovery
Supportive Recovery Program
For women in early recovery who need more than a list of resources.
The Supportive Recovery Program (SRP) is a specialized 10-bed supportive recovery program for women 19 and older with moderate to severe addiction or substance use concerns, which may include co-occurring mild to moderate mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or situational crisis.
The program runs at the Kackaamin campus in Port Alberni, and it offers something that most outpatient programs can't: a stable place to live while doing the work.
Program Intake
Supportive Recovery offers year-round intake into the program, contact the intake team to register.

- Safe, supported housing on the Kackaamin campus
- Access to AA and NA
- Cultural programming and ceremony
- Support accessing community resources like housing, counselling, further treatment programs
- Vocational and educational planning
- Life skills and coping skills building
- Support toward employment and community re-integration
Who this program is for:
Women 19 years and older with moderate to severe addiction or substance use concerns, which may include co-occurring mild to moderate mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or situational crisis. Priority is given to Nuu-chah-nulth members and individuals of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit ancestry living within the Traditional Territory of the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples.
Women with milder substance use concerns may also be accepted in limited numbers, where early support can prevent escalation.
Program length may vary, but will include stages of “social detox”, stabilization, and building safe and healthy connections in community toward re-integration.
