STAGE THREE

Treatment

Our exploration stage allows clients to identify the services that will best address the issues they are facing.

During our goal setting phase clients set goals that are meaningful to them.

Clients work with one of our counsellors to determine the program path that makes most sense for their unique situation.

Screening

During the screening process we collect basic information to support clients in determining their treatment path. Together, we look at available options and why someone might choose a specific path.

Prevention

Our prevention programs provide resources and tools to participants to increase their resilience.

One-on-One Counselling

Our clients create powerful relationships with counsellors in one-on-one sessions. Rideauwood counsellors listen, share and support clients as they work through their individual process.

Assessment

In the assessment phase, we work together to determine the areas that have impacted the client and possible influencing factors.

Education

In our education programs we talk about the “Hows and Whys” of substance use, behavioural addictions and mental health issues. We also discuss healthy ways to cope.
These educational sessions are tailored to different client groups.

Group Counselling

During Rideauwood counsellor-led group sessions, clients connect, share, learn from each other and create strong, supportive relationships.

Harm Reduction

Clients choose to reduce the harms related to their substance use and/or other problematic behaviours. Setting harm reduction goals helps clients minimize harms and enhance their skills and knowledge to improve their health.

Life Care

We know that life isn’t always a smooth journey, and there may be times when alumni need extra support. We are always here to welcome back alumni.

Abstinence

Clients want to eliminate their use of substances and behavioural addictions altogether. Clients develop a program path to achieve their abstinence goal.
