5 Why This Directory? Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. Henry Ford It has long been recognized that addiction and mental health issues are often chronic in nature. Therefore, successful long-term outcomes are enhanced when individuals have access to a continuum of services. This directory has been designed to fill a need for a current, comprehensive, and easy-to-use listing of mental health & addiction service providers in British Columbia. More than just a listing of government services, the Alcohol & Drug Services Directory recognizes the vital contribution made by private treatment providers and mutual support groups across the province. Sunshine Coast Health Center is proud to be your partner in this vital work and welcomes your comments, suggestions, and updates. The Provision of Publicly Funded Mental Health & Addiction Services in British Columbia Publicly funded mental health and addiction services in BC are either direct services of the provincial government, the federal government, or contracted agencies that are wholly- or partially-funded by the government. Typically, adults with addiction or concurrent mental/ health addictions are referred to Mental Health & Addictions which is a Ministry of Health program. Youth with mental health or concurrent mental health/addiction issues are referred to Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) which is a service of the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). Youth with addictions, depending on the community, are often referred to contracted agencies funded by Mental Health & Addictions. Native adults and youth are typically referred to National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs (NNADAP) funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. Contracted agencies provide services in many communities across British Columbia regardless of age (youth or adult) or disorder (addiction, mental health, addictions). Many of these programs offer services for substanceaffected family members in addition to the individual. Furthermore, NNADAP programs may also accept non-native Canadians, particularly in smaller, isolated communities. Introduction The integration of mental health and addiction services has been an ongoing initiative for the provincial government of British Columbia. Programs included in this section often cross-refer individuals with concurrent mental health/addiction issues depending on the primary diagnosis and availability of services. In other words, agencies typically have an open-door policy that allows for admission, assessment and, eventually, referral to other government programs for treatment. Please note that programs that are exclusively mental health and do not treat concurrent mental health/ addiction issues are not included in this listing. Finally, individuals requiring services are recommended to call ahead as intake hours for new clients may vary. Service Boundaries by Age Typically, youth services are for ages 13 to 18, however, some youth programs also serve young adults up to 24 years of age. Adult services in British Columbia are for ages 19 and older. In certain communities, adults 55 and older have their own programs. Service Boundaries by Geography The responsibility of delivering adult mental health and addiction services and youth addiction services in British Columbia are administered on a geographic basis by five Regional Health Authorities: Island Health Authority (VIHA), Coastal Health Authority (VCHA), Interior Health Authority, Northern Health Authority, and Fraser Health Authority (see map page 5). Due to its large population base, adult mental health and addiction services and youth addiction services in and Richmond are administered on a geographic basis by seven Community Health Areas: City Centre, Mid-East, Northeast, Westside, Midtown, South Van, and Richmond (see map page 6).

Brief Descriptions of Alcohol and Drug Services Available in British Columbia The right program for individuals with addiction or concurrent mental health/addiction issues depends on the needs of the individual. Detoxification (detox): a medical service designed to stabilize individuals who have consumed moodaltering substances to excess. Sudden cessation of alcohol or drugs in people who have consumed on a regular basis can lead to withdrawal. Since withdrawal can result in potentially life-threatening medical complications, around the clock monitoring by trained personnel is recommended. The length of stay in detox varies but is typically less than three days. Longer stays in detox may be required if opioids or alcohol are involved or if there are other medical conditions. During detox, little or no counselling is provided to the client. Outpatient treatment: a counselling service offered once or twice a week with, typically, one to three hours per session. Number of sessions may vary depending on the client s progress. Outpatient therapy can be one-on-one or in groups. A form of outpatient treatment called continuing care or aftercare is often utilized following completion of residential treatment. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) typically provide outpatient counselling as part of their service package. Day treatment: a type of outpatient counselling service typically offered 3 to 8 hours per day, several days (or nights) per week for several weeks. Day treatment is an alternative to residential treatment since the client returns home after treatment. Day treatment is also an alternative to standard outpatient treatment since it is more intensive and of shorter duration. Residential (or inpatient) treatment: sometimes referred to as primary treatment, this service is necessary when substance use has progressed to dependence. Residential programs provide around the clock supervision, group and individual therapy, education, meals, and accommodation. Facilities that provide residential treatment may also provide detoxification services. Sober (or transitional) living: a less-intensive residential service that is typically a minimum of 60 days in duration but can last as long as two years. Sober living is provided to clients who have completed residential treatment but require a greater level of support than what is available at home. The amount of time allocated to actual therapy, level of supervision, and qualifications of staff varies but is generally less than residential treatment. Clients may or may not be permitted to work while in sober living. Mutual support groups: peer-run groups provided at no or little cost to participants. Better known mutual support groups include Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Al-Anon/Alateen.

For access to publicly funded medical or hospital detox please check the following listings: Fraser Health Authority: Chilliwack and Surrey Interior Health Authority: Kamloops, Kelowna and Nakusp Northern Health Authority: Prince George Coastal Health Authority: Island Health Authority: Nanaimo, Victoria Some residential treatment centers (particularly private centers) provide detox as a means of facilitating an admission to their residential program. Patients may not be able to access these detox beds without agreeing to stay for residential treatment (typically 4 to 7 weeks). See the Residential Services section for more information. (*) Note: technically, social detox is not actually a medical service since medical personnel do not monitor the patient. METHADONE MAINTENANCE THERAPY IN BC Physicians In British Columbia, physicians require special authorization to prescribe methadone for those struggling with opiate addiction or chronic pain.* According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC 2005 annual report, there are 299 methadone maintenance program prescribing physicians in British Columbia. Of these physicians, 51 percent practice in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley area, 22% on Island, 23% in the Interior and 4% in Northern BC. (*) Note: physicians prescribing methadone for pain require a separate certification. Pharmacies As of June 2006, 477 pharmacies (52% of all BC pharmacies) dispense methadone. Of these pharmacies, 56% are located in the Lower Mainland area, 20% on Island and 24% reside in other BC regions. For a list of methadone pharmacies visit < or contact Mary McLelland, Quality Outcomes Specialist, at the College of Pharmacists of BC, phone (604) or toll-free 1(866) Source: Methadone Maintenance Program Overview (July 2006) College of Pharmacists of British Columbia. Clinics Methadone clinics exist across British Columbia that prescribe methadone and provide psychotherapy. While the physicians that work out of methadone clinics are regulated by the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC, methadone clinics themselves are not regulated. In the directory listings that follow, methadone clinics will be listed as either private clinics or direct services of the Ministry of Health through the five regional Health Authorities. Typically, methadone clinics are staffed with both medical professionals (nurses, physicians) as well as counsellors. Since physicians bill the provincial government for patient appointments the monthly fee is negligible, ranging from no fee to a maximum of $65 per month. Refer to the methadone clinic listings below for fees, hours of operation and access to service (drop-in or appointment required). ACCESS TO METHADONE MAINTENANCE THERAPY IN COMMUNITIES NOT LISTED Please note that access to methadone maintenance therapy may exist in other communities not listed in the Medical Services section. Readers are recommended to contact their local Mental Health & Addictions branch in the Government Outpatient Services section of this directory. TREATMENT SERVICES FOR HIV/AIDS & OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN BC Drug abuse behaviour plays the single largest role in the spread of HIV Infection in the United States today 1. Injection drug users have long been targeted by public health initiatives because of the recognized vulnerability of this population to blood-borne illness such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B & C. Worldwide, roughly one-tenth of new HIV infections result from needle sharing 2 while in Canada the rate is closer to 20 percent 3. Typically, injection drug users are a hard-to-reach population so harm reduction approaches are often used as an alternative to abstinencebased treatment. Furthermore, service providers struggle with the concurrent treatment of addiction and HIV/AIDS 4. Many injection drug users in Canada have other risk factors and often live in inner city neighbourhoods, are aboriginal, or spend time in prison settings 4.

PRIMARY CARE MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION SERVICES IN BC Primary Care is defined as the first care a patient receives. It is often a family physician, although patients may also receive primary care from a nurse, a paramedic, midwife, or other types of health care providers. Specialized primary care clinics for individuals with mental health and/ or addiction issues are an important service for the many individuals that do not have a family physician and often find themselves relying on walk-in clinics. Specialized primary care clinics provide longer sessions and the opportunity for patients to get the personalized service typically limited to those with a family physician. Please note that primary care mental health and addiction services are not always walk-in clinics. Individuals requiring primary care services should call ahead as many clinics often require an appointment or a referral from an approved health professional. ADDICTION MEDICINE SERVICES IN BC Addiction medicine is defined as a field of medicine that is focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of substancerelated disorders and addiction 1. Physicians with specialized expertise in addiction medicine are known as addiction physicians or addictionologists. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, 40 percent of its members are psychiatrists while the remainder have received medical training in other fields. The addiction medicine specialists listed in this directory are typically in private practice and serve insurance companies, unions, or large employers who have an employee with substance misuse issues. Once the employee is referred to an addiction physician, an Independent Medical Evaluation (IME) is provided which is an independent assessment that diagnoses for chemical dependency and provides treatment recommendations. Please note that the provision of an IME does not include psychotherapy. (1) Source: Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) MEDICAL MONITORING SERVICES IN BC Medical monitoring is defined as compulsory supervision of patients who have had primary treatment for substance dependence 1. Those trained in medical monitoring ( monitors ) work to ensure that an employee complies with the Independent Medical Evaluation issued by the addiction physician. Compliance can be ensured either biologically ( pee-testing ) or by observing behaviour during mandatory, short-notice, face-toface meetings with the employee. Typically, monitors have training in addiction counselling, practice strong boundary skills, and have some knowledge of mental health issues 2. Similar to addiction medicine, medical monitoring is a service provided to substance-misusing employees on behalf of referring entities such as insurance companies, unions, or large employers. Medical monitors do not provide psychotherapy to clients. (1) Source: Medical Monitoring: The Key to Success (April 2008) Paul Farnan, M.D., HealthQuest.

94 2009 British Columbia Alcohol & Drug Services Directory ADULT RESIDENTIAL SERVICES There are two types of residential services for adults with addiction issues: I. Adult Primary Treatment in British Columbia Primary treatment, sometimes referred to as residential or inpatient treatment, is necessary when substance use has progressed to dependence. Residential programs provide aroundthe-clock supervision, group therapy, individual therapy, education, meals, and accommodation. Typically, publicly funded medical services (such as detoxification) and primary treatment are offered in separate facilities. Therefore, clients entering publicly funded primary treatment must be medically stable prior to admission 1. Several private primary treatment centers in British Columbia provide detox as a means of facilitating admissions to their programs. However, these detox services are not stand-alone so clients must agree to stay (and pay) for primary treatment 2. (1) Note: clients may be asked to sustain a period of abstinence (or clean and sober time) that, depending on the treatment centre, can vary from 3 to 10 days. (2) Note: an exception to this is Crossroads Treatment Centre in Kelowna. Wait Times for Adult Primary Treatment Beds Unfortunately, demand for publiclyfunded adult primary treatment beds often exceeds supply. Although wait times can often be counted in weeks, adults in need of treatment are encouraged to sign on to wait lists since a number of factors 1 can shorten the wait. For individuals or their families who are unwilling to wait for publicly funded services in 92 Sunshine Coast Health Center BC, consider an Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC) program 2. A second alternative is private treatment centers since these programs typically have shorter waiting lists compared to their publicly funded counterparts. (1) Note: clients may be discharged early, waiting applicants may decide not to seek treatment while waiting, or end up finding another program. (2) Note: see the AADAC website at II. Adult Support Recovery Services in British Columbia Support recovery, or sober living, is a less-intensive residential service that is typically a minimum of 60 days in duration but can last as long as two years. Sober living is provided to clients who have completed residential treatment but require a greater level of support than what is available at home. The amount of time allocated to actual therapy, level of supervision, and qualifications of staff varies but is generally less than primary treatment. In this directory, adult support recovery programs were reviewed based on the following criteria: religious content, gender (maleonly, female-only, co-ed, or gender separate *), and company policy on methadone. Some organizations that offer support recovery services have multiple houses where houses are assigned clients by stage: Stage I (or Junior): clients at this stage are in early recovery and are not stabilized in their recovery. Typically, Stage I clients are not allowed to work or go to school and require an approved buddy who monitors their activities when they go off-site. Stage II: clients are allowed to be more independent and may not require supervision for off-site activities such as part-time work or school. Stage III (or Senior): clients at this final stage of support recovery are expected to be working or going to school full-time. By Stage III, clients have stable recovery, although clients may need continued support as they work on core personality and lifestyle programs. It is important to note that many support recovery programs in British Columbia are not licensed by the provincial Ministry of Health. Without a license, support recovery programs may have insufficient hygiene and safety standards as well as staff qualifications. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals or their families considering support recovery call first to schedule an appointment to meet with staff and inspect the premises. (*) Note: the term gender separate means that clients do not share programming, meals, accommodation or leisure time with the opposite sex. Secular and Faith-Based Options for Support Recovery Many support recovery programs in British Columbia incorporate religion * into programming. Typically, these programs have a Christian orientation and require mandatory participation in one or all of the following activities: group bible study, scheduled independent bible reading, or Sunday worship. Please note that programming that discusses religion or spirituality in psycho-education group is not considered faith-based participation. Finally, while some may argue that 12-step meeting attendance, Big Book study, or 12 step work is a form of religion, this directory does not consider 12-step programming as faith-based. However, programs that have modified 12-step literature to incorporate a Higher Power that is exclusively God based on New Testament readings is also considered faith-based programming. Clients that have issues with organized religion are recommended to call programs directly and ask for specific details on mandatory faithbased programming participation. (*) Note: the term religion does not include spirituality which explores issues of life purpose and meaning as well as issues of existence beyond the self. III. Income Assistance Eligibility for Publicly Funded Residential Services in British Columbia Clients who are residents of alcohol and drug residential treatment facilities funded by the Ministry of Health (MoH) may be eligible for the standard user fee ($1,200 per month) and a comforts allowance ($95 per month). To receive assistance while in an alcohol and drug residential treatment facility, clients must be eligible for income assistance or disability assistance. In addition, clients in the alcohol or drug treatment centre may be eligible to receive actual shelter costs for the client s usual place of residence up to the maximum shelter amount for the client s family unit ($375 per month). The following persons are not eligible for per diem assistance paid to service providers, but may receive assistance up to the appropriate level based on the size of the family unit: clients who reside in facilities not funded by MoH recipients of hardship assistance Source: Ministry of Housing & Social Development For more information please contact your local Mental Health & Addictions Services office (see the Government Outpatient section).

Almost all residential youth addiction programs are operated by contracted agencies since youth addiction treatment is not the primary mandate of the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) or Mental Health & Addiction Services through the Regional Health Authorities 2. Many residential youth programs require a referral prior to admission. Typically, referrals are secured by addiction counsellors working out of Mental Health & Addiction Services offices. However, youth with concurrent mental health/addiction issues may also be referred by MCFD. To locate an outpatient counsellor for the purposes of a referral see the Government Outpatient Services section. (1) Note: excluding Native-based youth residential services. (2) Note: MCFD focuses primarily on mental health, Mental Health & Addictions focuses primarily on adults. Youth Programs Are Not Always Just for Youth It is important to note that many youth programs accept young adults. Of the fifteen identified residential youth programs, 2 accept clients up to 19 years of age while an additional 4 programs work with youth up to ages between 21 and 25 years of age. Furthermore, youth can qualify for any adult residential addiction program if their 19 th birthday occurs prior to discharge. Wait Times for Residential Youth Beds Unfortunately, demand for youth residential beds often exceeds supply. Although wait times can often be counted in weeks, youth in need of treatment are encouraged to sign on to wait lists since a number of factors 1 can shorten the wait. For families who are unwilling to wait for publicly funded youth services in BC, the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC) has three residential youth programs 2. For families that can afford private treatment, there are several fee-forservice residential youth programs in Canada (3 are listed below) and many more in the United States 3. (1) Note: clients may be discharged early or waiting applicants may decide not to seek treatment while waiting or end up finding another program. (2) Note: AADAC Youth Residential Services in Lethbridge ( ), Calgary ( ), and Edmonton ( ). Their website is (3) Note: For locating a private residential youth program in the United States or Canada contact Know How Education and Career Services ( ), a -based consulting firm with expertise in helping parents find private youth treatment and education programs. Their website is Two Types of Residential Treatment: Primary Treatment & Support Recovery In the listings that follow, there are both primary treatment services and support recovery (sober living) services. Primary treatment typically follows detoxification and is designed for individuals in early recovery. Support recovery usually follows primary treatment and is designed to facilitate a gradual transition from primary treatment to a client s home community.

110 2009 British Columbia Alcohol & Drug Services Directory WHAT IS A FAMILY INTERVENTION? A family intervention is a structured method of assisting an individual who has resisted previous attempts by concerned others to get help for a drug or alcohol problem. An intervention involves convening as many people as possible who care about, and are considered important to, the abuser. These may include family members, friends, co-workers, an employer, etc. The objective of an intervention is to confront a person in a nonthreatening way and allow them to see their self-destructive behaviour, and how it affects themselves, family and friends. A well-executed intervention is professionally facilitated by an interventionist: an individual with expertise in drug and alcohol counselling and specific training in the intervention process. TYPES OF FAMILY INTERVENTIONS There are three models of intervention in use today: 1. The JOHNSON Intervention Model The JOHNSON Intervention Model was developed by the late Dr. Vernon Johnson, considered the founding father of addiction interventions. The Johnson Model was the first to recognize that there was another option besides just waiting for addicted family members to bottom out. There are two goals of a Johnson Model intervention: (1) break the denial of the addicted individual so that they admit they have a problem and (2) have the addicted individual enter inpatient addiction treatment. All aspects of the Johnson Model of intervention focus on the intervention as a singular event where success is determined by whether the addicted family member accepts treatment. The duration of the intervention depends on the size of the group, time that each client spends sharing their story, and the resistance on the part of the addicted family member to go to treatment. Finally, the Johnson Model recommends that family members keep private any knowledge of the pending intervention so that the addicted family member is unable to circumvent the process. 2. The SYSTEMIC Intervention Model The Systemic Model or Family Systems Model of intervention builds on the Johnson Institute model of therapeutic intervention. The Systemic Model is an approach where the entire family, including the addicted family member, is invited. Together the family learns about addiction in an educational workshop format. Included, however, is the opportunity for family members to share their experiences. The goal of the Systemic intervention is that, by the end of the process, the family is able to utilize new skills to (1) help themselves and (2) invite the addicted family member to consider treatment. In other words, the intervention provides a benefit to all participants, not just the addicted family member. 3. The ARISE Intervention Model The ARISE (Albany-Rochester Interventional Sequence for Engagement) Intervention Model (also known as the Invitational Intervention ) is similar to the Systemic Intervention Model since it (1) invites the addicted individual to participate in the intervention process and (2) is not focused on a singular intervention event. It differs, however, from the Systemic Model by: 1. assuming that families are more powerful than the interventionist to effect change 2. recommending outpatient treatment as the first stage of treatment 3. utilizing a three stage, graduated continuum of intervention where each stage involves an increased level of therapy and family involvement compared to the stage which precedes it By utilizing a graduated approach, the ARISE Model has an intent to meet people where they are which, proponents of the ARISE Model assert, allows for more flexibility in comparison to other models. Another important difference is that the ARISE Model is conducted over a series of 5 to 10 meetings. Meetings progress from being: 1. telephone conference calls to 2. Face-to-face meetings with the whole group. These meetings may talk about how to engage the addicted family member (if he/she is not present and refuses help) or the meeting may be about getting a commitment to (a) begin treatment or (b) meet in one week for a progress report (if he/she is present at the meeting) to 3. An actual intervention if the addicted family member has resisted all attempts to engage despite the efforts of the group as outlined in step 2. Therefore, if telephone conference calls with the family group result in the addicted family member entering treatment then no further involvement by the interventionist is necessary. If, however, the family member is still not attending the family meetings and is not in treatment, then steps 2 and 3 are applied. RECOMMENDED BC-BASED FAMILY INTERVENTIONISTS The following interventionists are willing to travel to communities anywhere in British Columbia: Trudy Annand RPC, MPCP, BRI (I) Axis Intervention Services Ltd. < 651 Victoria Street Kamloops BC V2C 2B3 Phone: (250) Toll-free: 1(866) trudy@axisintervention. com Qualifications: Trudy is a Registered Professional Counsellor and a Master Practitioner in Counselling Psychology who offers individual and group counselling for addictions and is a board certified Interventionist. Trudy has participated in numerous interventions with families and is able to travel to provide her intervention service. Trudy is also a Board Registered Interventionist and a member of the Association of Intervention Specialists. Trudy has planned and participated in numerous interventions with alcoholics and drug addicts. Trudy has personally experienced alcoholism and understands firsthand the effects of addiction and how difficult it is to change your life to bring an end to substance abuse. In her own words: It is important that interventions are planned and facilitated with a certified intervention specialist. By the time an intervention is sought, most concerned persons have tried everything they possibly could to help the individual struggling with the addiction. Statistics show that it takes an average of seven years for a concerned person to seek help dealing with the addicted individual. Often the concerned person feels a high level of frustration and anger with the addicted individual because everything they have tried has not worked. Concerned persons may feel betrayed, confused, guilty and defensive and sometimes they blame each other, themselves and the addicted individual for their own difficulties. It is imperative that these feelings are worked through with the Interventionist in order to intervene on the addict in a safe and respectful manner. The Interventionist is the one person in the room who is not emotionally attached to the addicted individual, allowing an objective process to take place through monitored respect and love of the addicted individual. 108 Sunshine Coast Health Center

In her own words: At Kathleen Landry and Associates, an intervention is the loving process into a troubled person s life to help motivate them to change and seek help. It is a process that begins long before the troubled person is even spoken to and continues long after the person seeks help. It involves the caring support of the troubled person s closest friends, family and business associates. It is a process that brings the person s bottom up rather than waiting for the person to sink to the bottom Family Intervention Services Sunshine Coast Health Center 109 FAMILY INTERVENTION SERVICES
