Drug & Alcohol Interventions
There are 2 basic types of Intervention approaches; Confrontational and Non-Confrontational. Most intervention professionals will use a confrontational approach. This approach may be appropriate in extreme circumstances, especially when someone’s life is at imminent risk due to their substance use, however, if possible, we’d like to go with an easier and softer way to ensure buy-in.
For a lot of individuals, the confrontational approach just doesn’t work. You might get the individual into treatment, but once there, they become angry and bitter and don’t engage because of the way they’ve been backed into a corner. People who are forced to participate and less likely to participate willingly. This resistance can lead to a barrier between our drug counsellors.
We don’t want the treatment process to be unsuccessful, because aside from costing thousands of dollars, we don’t want to be back in this situation all over again. We’ll ensure you find your feet by providing guidance and drug counselling services the entire way through if necessary.
FAQ's
Addiction Counselling
Answers to frequently asked questions about addiction counselling services.
Addiction counselling services are professional therapeutic supports designed to help individuals understand the underlying causes of substance use, develop coping strategies, change maladaptive patterns, and build skills for lasting recovery. Counsellors work collaboratively with clients to tailor treatment to individual needs and recovery goals.
Counselling focuses specifically on emotional and behavioural change through evidence‑based therapeutic techniques, whereas other components like medical detox address physical withdrawal and clinical symptoms. Counselling complements treatment by helping clients unpack triggers, resolve trauma, and create healthy lifestyle patterns that support sobriety.
Anyone struggling with substance use, co‑occurring mental health concerns, relapse triggers, or relationship challenges related to addiction can benefit from counselling. It is also valuable for individuals transitioning out of structured rehab programs, family members affected by a loved one’s addiction, and those seeking relapse prevention skills.
Counselling services often incorporate evidence‑based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma‑informed care, solution‑focused therapy, family systems counselling, and relapse prevention planning. These approaches address both present‑day behaviour and the emotional factors underlying addiction.
Counselling may be beneficial if substance use is causing problems in your life, relationships, work, or health, or if you find it difficult to maintain sobriety on your own. A professional assessment can help determine the right level of counselling support based on your history, goals, and clinical needs.
Addiction Counselling will range from $100-$250 per session depending on number of people per session and any additional assessments that may be involved. These sessions usually last 45-50 minutes, alotting time for case management and client tracking notes.
Addiction is a considered a family disease, as it affects people who are closely connected to that individual. Most drug rehab programs around have left out the family as far as helping them heal as well. Most family members or loved ones have spent time and effort trying to help the addicted person with not much luck. More than often there is symptoms of codendancy, such as money lending, limited or no healthy boundaries, and enabling to name a few. From what we have found is that counselling and educating all those involved with a Family Program is proven to leave better communication and healthy behaviours for all.
Session frequency is tailored to each individual’s situation. Many clients begin with weekly sessions and adjust as progress occurs. Typical sessions are 45–60 minutes, and the length of counselling varies—some benefit from a few months of focused work, while others engage in longer‑term support.
Yes. Addiction counselling is provided with strict confidentiality and ethical standards. Information shared in counselling sessions is protected, and results are only released with client consent or as required by law for safety concerns.
Yes. Family counselling or sessions that include partners and loved ones can be part of comprehensive care. These sessions help improve communication, rebuild trust, address enabling behaviours, and educate families about addiction and recovery support.
While outcomes vary based on individual engagement and circumstances, many clients experience improved self‑awareness, stronger coping skills, healthier emotional regulation, better relationships, reduced substance use, and increased confidence in maintaining long‑term recovery.
