Mobile Treatment Programs

Action North Recovery Centre has delivered many successful Mobile Treatment programs of various lengths and styles across Canada.These programs can include design, coordination and delivery.

Many of the facilitators are from remote northern communities and can relate to the daily living and working issues in these environments. Due to their extensive training and personal development, the facilitators have expertise in many areas. All of the mobile staff specialize in anger and emotional release facilitation.

Aftercare Program

The Aftercare program is a special Mobile Program designed for individuals who have completed the treatment program and have continued sobriety. Aftercare encourages further personal growth and the strengthening of sobriety.

ACOA and Codependency Programs

We have found that there is a great demand for services for people who have lived in alcoholic or dysfunctional families. The Adult Children of Alcoholics and Codependency programs are designed to promote and support their recovery.

Summer Youth Programs

Summer Youth programs are available upon request.

Men's and Women's Programs

Gender-specific groups encourage participants to share and work on their own personal issues in a safe, respectful environment. Our experience has shown that gender-specific groups are more conducive to recovery.
