Addiction Counselling Services Vancouver and Surrounding Areas

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.
