More About Next Steps Recovery
Next Steps Recovery program provides a safe and supportive environment for people to learn how to manage any kind of problematic addictive behaviours.

This includes rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), as well as a positive reinforcement support program (CRAFT) for families and friends who want to be helpful to their loved one in recovery.

Join us for our Thursday meeting at 7 pm...
Altruism is the belief or practice of selfless concern for the well-being of others. It has been proven to have a great impact for success in addiction recovery. With compassion and empathy, we provide a non-judgmental safe meeting space where people learn new ways of coping with life's daily challenges. When we attend a meeting we all volunteer our time to be helpful to one another. We can stay on point in recovery and give back to others who benefit from our experience.
- Learn evidence-based tools and techniques drawn from rational emotive and cognitive behavioural therapy, positive reinforcement and motivational interviewing techniques as well as mindfulness and self compassion activities.
- We continue to play a vital role filling significant gaps in mental health and addiction services, supporting continuity of self-care and the development of Recovery Capital. Recovery Capital is the internal and external resources needed for an individual to not only initiate, but, maintain recovery from any form of addictive behaviours. We acknowledge that individuals require different levels of support and respond to different types of resources to achieve their recovery goals. Recovery Capital is divided into four catagories: Physical, Human, Family, Social and community.
- We offer non-clinical meetings that provide community, social emotional support as well as experiential knowledge and an information exchange.
- We provide information, and strategies to enable participants to work towards behaviour change, on their own terms and in their own time frame. Respectfully, what works best for the individual is best for them.
- We update our program as the evidence changes.
- We present a practical and solution focused approach.
- There is no "one size fits all". We meet participants where they are and respect their personal recovery journey.
- We prioritize personal well-being including harm reduction activities as a personal choice with medical assistance.
- We encourage participants to engage in the work supported by peers and our trained meeting host.
