Long-Term Community Rehabilitation

We serve British Columbians who suffer from problems stemming from substance abuse with a strong personal motivation to recover from their addictions. Typically these individuals have experienced serious setbacks in life such as physical/sexual/ emotional abuse, social stigma or mental illness before becoming addicted. These traumas must be addressed concurrently with the addiction to achieve successful treatment outcomes.

We provide priority access to those individuals who have demonstrated a strong desire to rehabilitate but have so far been unsuccessful in traditional treatment methods. At the heart of our program we believe that people can be successfully treated through a supported abstinence model. Applicants must acknowledge their own dependency and voluntarily apply for the program. We welcome motivated applicants regardless of their social status or ability to make a financial contribution to Baldy Hughes Therapeutic Community.

We provide daily access to structured treatment, with group, and one-on-one counselling for addiction and related problems, drug and alcohol education, life skills courses in communication, Spiritual direction, and motivation are also provided.

Based on the Biblical principles embodied in the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.), the building of viable support systems as alternatives to previous living and social environments is an important part of our structure.

For Men only - Vancouver, BC

Together We Can Society (TWC) has emerged in the last decade as one of British Columbia’s leading residential treatment programs for men challenged by drug and/or alcohol addiction.
Located in Vancouver, clients live as a part of a supportive residential community where they participate in group therapy and an integrated treatment program. Our goal is to help clients discover new and healthy beliefs which are the foundation for recovery.
The first stage residential program accommodates 42 males aged 19 years or older, who share five comfortable homes in a quiet residential neighbourhood.

Clean & Sober 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 three second stage homes – most within walking distance of our main office and first stage program facilities. 

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 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.

Therapeutic Community Concept for Men

Trapping Creek Ranch is a Therapeutic Community dedicated to the long term recovery of individuals with drug and alcohol addiction from Northern BC.

The ranch is located in rural Woodpecker, BC on 400 acres of hay fields, grazing grasslands, riding trails and access to lakes.  As we learn the business of running a successful ranch, our cows, calves and horses are being very patient with us.
It is our goal to create a self-supporting community generating income from ranching activities. This teaches our residents responsibility, a good work ethic and the value of helping one another.

Residents in later stages of the program are provided with opportunities to complete high school, access post secondary education or be provided with trades training. Re-entry into the larger community is structured to include work opportunities in Hixon and Prince George while residents reside at the ranch.

For individuals willing to spend a minimum of 24 months working at building a self-supporting ranch and community; changing their behaviour; climbing a ladder of responsibility; and participating in life skills training, the outcome can be very positive for long term sobriety.
