We offer a twenty-eight day intensive, residential program for men and women.

"I got my daddy back!"

The successful treatment of addiction depends on a philosophy of treatment that is based on a holistic view of the individual as capable of self-correction. At EDGEWOOD we understand that addiction is an illness; but it is an illness that is predictable and treatable.

Using a 12 Step framework, our treatment programs are individualized and paced at a level each individual responds to best. Our patients are accorded the respect and dignity that all individuals suffering with an illness deserve.

We are here to help our patients regain the life that was lost when they started down the road of addiction. Freedom from addiction means regaining a life of dignity, integrity and healthy self-esteem; a life in which physical, mental and emotional health is restored and the spirit is healed.

If you, or your family, are struggling with addiction, Edgewood offers hope and support for those wanting to reclaim that freedom.

“Often the longest journey one takes
Is from the head to the heart!”

   Welcome to InnerVisions Recovery Society, a family of safe, structured treatment facilities serving both men and women with locations in Maple Ridge, Pt Coquitlam and Coquitlam, BC. If you are a person whose life has become unmanageable and you need some friendly, definite, clear direction to address the disease of addiction, InnerVisions is the place for you.  

   For over 20 years, InnerVisions has provided first class treatment services in licensed and accredited facilities. Our statistical data indicates that on average, our fee for treatment is 35% less, our services can be accessed 80% faster, and 80% of our clients complete treatment.

   InnerVisions offers a proven environment of recovery created and operated by people who themselves have conquered their demons of addiction from alcohol and drugs; all of our staff are in recovery themselves. We openly admit our Program is highly structured, and when a person is coming into InnerVisions they need to know we are rigorous to the application of our program standards. We also know that if you have a problem with alcohol and drugs, we have a proven solution: you can RECOVER!

Men’s Program

     InnerVisions currently operates 2 separate men’s facilities with the capacity to treat 46 men at any one time.  The men’s program, identical to the women’s, is a highly organized and thorough 12 step program.  While getting clean and sober is the ultimate goal, our facilitators promote self exploration for clients through step work and one-on-one case management.  Upon entering treatment, clients are immediately put under the care of our in-house addiction doctor and are monitored throughout their stay.  Our ultimate goal is to provide clients with the necessary tools to free themselves of the vicious cycle of addiction and to reintegrate into society as a productive member.

Women’s Program

     InnerVisions has operated Hannah House as the residential women’s treatment centre for over 10 years.  2012 marks a great transition for the women of InnerVisions recovery, as we are set to add a brand new 17 bed facility that will compliment the current 21 bed facility operating as Hannah house.  This new addition will increase our capacity to treat women who are in dire need of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.  Hannah house is a safe, secure location for women in need of drug and alcohol treatment to reside and discover a new, clean and sober way of living.

Aftercare and Second Stage Housing

     While the residential treatment process for clients may end after 60 days, their involvement with InnerVisions does not have to stop there.  At InnerVisions, we strive to aide clients in their transition back into life.  We help them to identify any additional barriers and help direct them to the appropriate services they may need.  In addition, we offer those seeking employment a job finding facility that offers clients the appropriate resources to find gainful employment. InnerVisions also offers second stage housing to those clients who qualify.  Our second stage housing offers clients more independent living than the treatment centre, but keeps them surrounded by others in recovery, and keeps them involved in the recovery community, as they go back to work and life. 

Family Program

     At InnerVisions we realize that alcohol and drug addiction not only affects the individual involved, but the entire family unit.  We have developed a program that we offer to family members that gives them knowledge into the disease of addiction.  Often, a client’s transition back into the family can prove a difficult one for both parties.  Our program introduces the family to the 12 step program, teaches conflict resolution techniques, communication skills, and anger management strategies, which we know aides in the transition process of the client back to the family.  This program also offers a therapeutic benefit, in that, family members are able to speak with other clients’ families about their common experiences and concerns.

For Men only - Vancouver, BC

"Welcome to Together We Can"

Located in Vancouver, Together We Can Society (TWC) has emerged in the last decade as one of British Columbia’s leading private residential treatment programs for men challenged by drug and/or alcohol addiction.

We believe an essential part of the recovery process is providing our clients with a warm, comfortable and especially safe and confidential place to call home.  Together We Can provides a course of treatment in a supported, encouraging, long-term residential setting where men recovering from addiction to drugs and alcohol can experience the wonder of healing while discovering new and healthy ways of living that last a life time.  

Our Program:

TWC offers an integrated health care program that is both holistic and 12 step based. We draw experientially on many ideas and proven concepts of recovery in order to offer a broad-based and respectful approach to help our clients discover and sustain recovery.

The TWC program while compassionate and caring is rigorous and includes around-the-clock supervision by trained professionals. Clients participate in daily individual and group counselling sessions as well as life training skills. Non-denominational spiritual work is offered through additional counselling as well as the 12-Step Program of Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous.  Clients are regularly monitored by a doctor specializing in addiction medicine.

In Addition:

• Family Support
• Art Therapy
• Acupuncture
• Chiropractic Attention
• Meditation
• Physical Exercise & Wellness
• Recreation
• Hikes & Back Packing
• Chef prepared meals

Living in a harmonious, therapeutic environment has often proven to be a priceless medicine in itself: clients thrive on the friendship and support of fellow residents and staff.

Residential Options:

Without compromise, we understand that full recovery takes time as well as understanding and flexibility. For these reasons we customize each term of stay to suit the needs of each client offering from 30 to 90 days of primary residency combined with the value of second stage housing and an active aftercare plan.  This formula ensures the best of primary treatment as well as the tools for returning to home and the workplace.

2nd Stage Housing and Aftercare Living:

TWC’s second stage recovery homes facilitate a successful integration into society for men who are ready to go back to school or return to the work force. We support nine second stage homes.

Under the supervision of a TWC staff member, our transitional homes provide a safe, abstinence-based environment for graduating clients. Residents can reintegrate into their communities from a place of consistent support and at the same time access a variety of TWC resources. In return, they must adhere to simple rules and continue to attend 12 step program meetings. Residents of the second stage homes also contribute (a much smaller amount) to their room and board.

We impose no set limit on the length of participation in our second stage program. Recognizing that recovery is an ongoing process, we urge clients to stay as long as they feel is necessary.

A stunning retreat for men and women!
At Top of the World Ranch, we fully understand the importance of making the decision to seek treatment for yourself or a loved one. We continually strive to provide the finest available Addictions Rehabilitation Services.  Set upon a private 600 acre ranch that is surrounded by stunning wilderness and framed by the Rocky Mountains, your treatment experience here will be unlike any other.

We also offer an exceptional indoor experience with an attractively appointed log lodge and cabins where each guest will have their own bedroom for that very important but often difficult to come by sleep and personal space.

Our Approach

At Top of the World Ranch we view treatment as a holistic process that involves your mind, your body and just as importantly your spirit. Our mission is to facilitate maximum potential for healthy sustainable lifestyle transformation. We holistically address the Biological, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual intentions of our clients.

Our Attitude

Treatment is about living, a journey to new and healthy living as the best person you were intended to be.  It is about stopping the drinking and/or drugging and obsessive compulsive behaviours. It’s about removing old habits for new healthy ways and thinking. These are the keys to getting your real life back.

Our Program

We use an individualized case management process for each client allowing us to attend to each person’s individual goals and needs within the context of a professional, holistically delivered treatment program.

You can expect special one to one counselling sessions in conjunction with small group processing. You will have your own primary counsellor with whom you can create a specific and comprehensive recovery plan just for you!  You will also meet other specialists within areas of expertise who will address and meet your individual needs. 

We place great confidence and trust in Serenity and Peace of Mind as strong indicators and measuring sticks of healthy recovery.  Usually when either or both are minimal or absent, it’s time for correction. We encourage that each need to develop and trust our own Serenity and Peach of Mind as places to go as we go through every day life as well as times of trouble.  Both should be cornerstones in relapse prevention.

Family Support

At Top of the World Ranch Treatment Centre we understand the importance of caring for the family as they support each client’s recovery as well as experience their own journey to new and healthy living.

We also endorse the need for client’s families to secure their own support that is gained through shared information and participation in our family program which allows for new understanding and their own healing to take place.

The Family Support Weekend

Evidence-based research shows that families who are impacted by the disease of addiction require support for themselves a well as the recovering dependent, resulting in our implementing a very successful Family Support Weekend.

Free to family members who wish to participate, we strongly encourage all family members to take this opportunity to join us for an informative and healing weekend. You can look forward to learning new tools that will support you as you heal, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically within your family unit while bringing greater empathy and truth to this most challenging disease called addiction.

“We guide our clients to appreciate the gift of life."
