Last Door Youth Program is a long term residential treatment program for male youth (14 – 18 years of age) who are experiencing addiction related issues. “Social Model" treatment modality is used. The program is licensed under the Community Care Act and is located in New Westminster, B.C. Canada.

Our Program:

Our program promotes health and well being by fostering experience based learning.  This style of learning is particularly suited to youth and enables them to challenge their values, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours.  The ultimate result is increased self esteem and better choice making.

The Social Model:

In this social model program, clients share meals, space, recreation, chores, group treatment as well as celebrations.  In the course of living as a recovery community clients are presented with opportunities to modify their approaches to living, problem solving and communication as well as altering their addictive behaviours.

Youth become active in community affairs, school and our long running successful alumni group.  Its through participation in a community context, clients are able to keep recovery and prevention issues foremost on their agendas.
