RE/ACT (Recovery Education for Addictions and Complex Trauma) is a no-cost, 12- week out-patient (not gender-specific) program that names the numerous ways trauma shapes our lives, thought patterns, behaviours, and health. The RE/ACT program runs in three phases:
- Phase 1 is a four (4) week focus on understanding substance use and complex trauma.
- Phase 2 flows from that, with eight (8) weeks focused on complex trauma in each person’s life.
- Phase 3 is ongoing care and community support.
As a RE/ACT cohort, individuals will identify and understand trauma’s impact on their life, and begin to develop healthy responses to the adversity that they experience in their daily life. As the individual progresses into ongoing care, they can continue to nurture healthy friendships that have developed over the first 90 days through afternoon and evening programming designed to support them in their recovery. Individual counselling and ongoing mentorship is also offered to individuals in various stages of recovery.
