When I recover...

The gains Tamarack clients make through their own effort supported by group therapy and individual counselling, prepare them for the extraordinary journey they will make in Recovery after leaving the House.

Many clients find that they have the skills to greatly improve their relationships with family members and significant others. When one recovering person in a family system changes, the system itself changes as well.

There is more than meets the eye in this personal progress. Re-united families with healthier relationships have a profound positive impact on the communities our clients return to.

I may have a problem with alcohol and/or other drugs

"Lately, I’m feeling awful about the my substance use and people are on my case about it. Maybe I should talk to a professional."

"My problems are mounting up and I just don’t know who I am or what to do. I just want some peace."

Tamarack Recovery Centre: You are pretty much where many people we see are at when they call us. We can help. Just call before the losses really start happening.

Someone I know has a problem with alcohol and/or drugs

"A person I love and care about is wasting their life and driving me and everyone else crazy".

"We thought they might get their act together. We hoped we could help them work it out".

Tamarack Recovery Centre: If you are this concerned, it may be time to intervene in a serious way. We can help you explore options.

I've relapsed

"It happened so quickly. I didn't think it was a big deal at first but now I'm in a mess and don't know what to do. I don't want to sink deeper".

Tamarack Recovery Centre: Sometimes it can seem like the urge to use comes "out of the blue", without warning. It overwhelms you and overrides any other thoughts. This is a scary place to be but you don't have to suffer it any longer.
