|  | Addiction Counselling Services
Kelowna, BC Crossroads offers counselling and psychotherapy on an outpatient basis. Clients receive counselling around their addiction and underlying issues such as grief, abuse, trauma, and mental health. Family members looking for their own counselling around the impact of addiction and their own ability to draw boundaries have found benefit in this service as well. Why Outpatient Addiction Counselling
• For some people, the option of going to residential treatment does not fit into their life.
• For others, outpatient addiction counselling will be enough for them to explore their addiction while continuing to function in their lives.
• Those coming to our 28-day residential program may wish to supplement their group treatment with individual counselling.
• Often times clients want to continue with one-on-one counselling after they leave residential treatment (whether here or somewhere else) as part of their aftercare.
Addiction Counselling Services
• Individual Counselling – one-on-one psychotherapy for adults struggling with addiction or in recovery.
• Family Counselling – helping couples and families heal from the impact of addiction
• Family Consultations – helping families determine how to help/manage a loved one with an addiction. (Usually a one time meeting with possible follow ups).
• Family Meetings – our version of an intervention where the addicted loved one is invited to the meeting.
