Substance Use Counselling

The Bella Coola Community Support Society offers programs related to substance use.

Counselling

Addictions counselling is for children, youth, adults, and families who have concerns about their own or someone else’s use of substances/chemicals, or behaviours (codependency, etc). Counselling is also available for those who grew up in addicted families. The service is voluntary, free of charge for client, and confidential.

The program helps clients develop personal treatment goals that can lead to lasting change and a healthy, balanced life. Clients are helped to gain insight into the patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses associated with addiction. With this insight, clients can begin to develop new, healthy responses.

The alcohol and drug counsellor can refer individuals and families to residential treatment centers (may involve some cost to the client), supportive recovery facilities, support groups such as A.A. and CoDA, and other community resources.

Referrals can be accepted from individuals, families, friends, doctors, and community agencies. contact us for more information.
