Individual and family counselling are a big part of life here at CCFA. We focus on the human by providing 5-star services in a serene setting that is conducive to healing
At the Canadian Centre for Addictions, we believe in individualized counselling services for addiction treatment. This means taking the time for our professional counsellors to meet with the individual to ensure that their specific needs are being addressed.
During the first appointment, our professional counsellor gathers information about the patient’s individual situation and behavior to create a treatment recommendation. Some of the information discussed might include:
There are 5 major elements involved in evaluating the information the participant provides:
The counsellor provides information to the individual so that the former can they can determine together how effectively the individual’s goals are being targeted.
The agreement between the counsellor and the participant will be imperative to the therapeutic relationship and to the participant’s future quality of life. Many areas are covered in the counselling session agreement, including:
The participant and the counsellor will work together toward resolving problems and meeting outlined goals. The counsellor will assess on an ongoing basis the most effective method of individual counselling to ensure that they are supporting the individual’s needs in the best way possible. This can include career counselling, cessation of smoking and other vices, and work on self-esteem issues
Termination is not the last counselling session, but rather a phase in which the counsellor will work with the individual on preparing a discharge and aftercare plan. When treatment comes to an end, the individual will be able to stay sober and continue working toward their goals on their own.
This is a timely and carefully planned process that involves the collaboration of not only the counsellor but the entire clinical team to ensure every that resource possible is at the individual’s disposal when they complete treatment. However, if the counsellor sees a need for an intensive inpatient program, then that will also be recommended as it has many benefits.
