At Teen Challenge Canada, we believe that recovery is more than just overcoming addiction – lasting sobriety is about embracing a new way of life. Our Recovery Model focuses on five essential areas that work together to provide a comprehensive and lasting recovery experience.
Each element is designed to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our clients, ensuring they have the tools they need to live full and meaningful lives while with us in program, or at home with their family and friends
THE RECOVERY JOURNEY
Recovery is a journey that begins even before a client enters a local Teen Challenge Canada centre and continues long after they leave. Pre & Post Care services ensure that individuals have the necessary support at every stage of their recovery process.
When someone decides enough is enough and they want to change, they are in a vulnerable state of mind. Emotions are raw – anxiety, uncertainty, and shame can come tumbling out. We recognize the significance of the first point of contact for both individuals struggling with addiction and their families.
PRE-CARE SERVICES
Teen Challenge Canada Pre-Care begins with one of our Intake/Admissions staff. These compassionate individuals are trained to:
- Provide guidance and encouragement
- Answer questions
- Help potential clients and their loved ones navigate the application process
After speaking with the individual, the admissions team assesses their readiness to start the journey towards recovery. They provide important details about how the program works and answer questions. Our staff also offers prayer and emotional support, helping individuals take that crucial first step toward recovery.
POST-CARE SERVICES
Post-Care focuses on providing continued support after a client completes or chooses to leave a Teen Challenge Canada centre.
During this time, they receive encouragement, prayer, and coaching from our team. They also get connected with local resources and support groups to help them stay on the path to recovery.
Graduates of the program can also enroll in a Phase4 post-graduate program where they stay at a Teen Challenge Canada centre for an additional 6 – 12 months. In Phase4, graduates work side by side with our staff and mentor current clients. They continue their personal development through structured mentoring relationships with counsellors and staff.
Recovery is not just about getting sober – it’s about staying strong, finding purpose, and knowing you’re never alone.
Recovery is a challenging journey filled with ups and downs. Many clients experience setbacks and may choose to return for 6–12-month refresher programs after completing their initial program. This ongoing commitment reflects their dedication to long-term sobriety and personal growth.
VITAL PART OF THE PROCESS
Pre & Post Care services provide a crucial continuum of care, ensuring that individuals have the resources and spiritual support needed to maintain lasing freedom from addition.
Pre & Post Care services are essential in ensuring a seamless transition into and out of the recovery program. Without the right support system, individuals may struggle with uncertainty, relapse, and feelings of isolation.
The Intake Assistance Call Centre offers hope and direction at the beginning, while the ongoing care program provides a crucial safety net as clients reintegrate into society.
By offering structured support both before and after their stay, Teen Challenge Canada empowers individuals to build lasting recovery, foster resilience and long-term success.
