RE/ACT (recovery education for addictions and complex trauma) is a no cost 12-week outpatient (not gender-specific) program that names the numerous ways trauma shapes our lives, thought patterns, behaviours, and health.
The RE/ACT program runs in three phases:
• Phase 1 is a four (4) week focus on understanding addiction and complex trauma.
• Phase 2 flows from that, with eight (8) weeks focused on complex trauma in each person’s life
• Phase 3 is ongoing care and community support.
As a RE/ACT cohort, you will identify and understand trauma’s impact on your life, and begin to develop healthy responses to the adversity that you experience in your daily life. As you progress into ongoing care, you can continue to nurture healthy friendships that have developed over the first 90 days through afternoon and evening programming designed to support you in your recovery.
Each Monday we welcome new cohort members. As each day goes by you will find a safe space to share your story and begin to integrate the information with your experiences in the past, in the present, and find hope for tomorrow.
People enter into the RE/ACT program and join a cohort of peers, with a maximum cohort size of fifteen (15). The RE/ACT program operates at two different facilities.
There is no financial cost to participate.
