Provincial Youth and Young Adult Substance Use Treatment Program

Provincial Youth and Young Adult Substance Use Treatment Program

Provides specialized addiction treatment in a supported home-like setting for youth and young adults in BC who need help with severe substance use.

Treatment includes group, individual and family therapy as well as life-skills training, therapeutic recreational activities, and access to Indigenous Elders, recreation workers, teachers, and doctors.
