Description & Services
Service Details | The program is a structured six-week, participant centered program. The program is provided in safe, substance free, live-in environments for individuals age 19 and older for whom alcohol or substance misuse is an acknowledged problem. Bridgeway offers the program at two facilities: Gray Road and Ethel Street, Kelowna. The program at Gray Road is offered eight times throughout the calendar year with scheduled intake and discharge dates for 20 participants of a common gender, i.e., male-identifying or female identifying (participants are encouraged to apply for the group that they identify with the most). Referral sources and applicants are encouraged to check this page for updates regarding upcoming groups, which are determined based on needs and waitlists for services. The program at Ethel House is offered with a continuous intake model for seven treatment beds and two transition beds. The transition beds may be accessed after treatment for additional services, programming and assistance. Please note, Ethel House is only available for female-identifying participants. |
