Your initial consultation is the first step in this change process. Meeting with our team, we will listen to your story until you feel we have a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation . This consultation is a space for our team to identify the needs of you and your family .

Following the initial consultation call and assessment, our team will provide you with options and treatment pathways to best meet your needs, Offering up to 3 different plans tailored to you and your loved ones needs.

This offering is BHG’s commitment to providing customized ongoing care for up to one year. We provide this for a number of reasons, primarily because this is where we see people disappear or relapse unnecessarily. Our in-house team will oversee you, your family and all of your care and transitions during this vulnerable time. This is where we help you stabilize after some very heavy lifting.

We liaise and provide case management for treatment center transitions, aftercare, sober living, therapists and other services as well as monitor for efficacy and accountability of these services. We provide coaching which gives clients accountability and consistency at a crucial time which can often divert crisis in the early stages of recovery.

The Bearing House will provide structure, safety and shelter to you and your family while a new foundation is formed.

Led by a Family Development Specialist and informed by attachment science, polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology, this next step will identify family dynamics and relational patterns that may contribute to the problematic behaviour. Your family assessment will also identify how individual family members have been impacted by the addiction. Following the assessment, practical and accessible recommendations will be made to heal and grow as individuals and as a family system for sustained change. Treatment plans include Family Therapy sessions and access to the Better Love Curriculum, which includes psychoeducation and resources to teach individuals and families how to integrate these concepts into practice to create new, adaptive, growth-promoting patterns as well as safety and trust in relationships.

BHG’s Family Development Specialists know that individual health is embedded within systemic health. Our relationship with our family is one of the most primal and impactful ones we hold. Within this relationship, we co-create our core belief systems and identity. Much of the conflict we see in families is the result of deep misunderstanding, maladaptive efforts to protect, and unmet emotional needs. Family Therapy will help deepen each other’s understanding of behaviours and reactions, develop new systems for communicating that will promote trust, and improved mental health and behaviours for all family members. Family Therapy can create the safety necessary for mood regulation and sense of self-worth, mitigating the root drive of much addictive behaviour. As we strengthen family connection, we optimize individual development.
