The cost
Most people rule out live-in treatment before they ask what it costs. What you pay is based on your recovery needs and your circumstances. We work it out with you.
A sliding scale
Private beds are priced on a sliding scale, based on your recovery needs and your circumstances.
Payment plans
Payment plans can be discussed with our management team on the call.
The same program either way
Every client follows the same program and the same house rules, however their stay is funded.
What is included
Abstinence-based, grounded in the Twelve Step model, and highly structured. There is zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol in our care, and we say so up front.
Addictions physicians visit each house every week, and you see a doctor within 7 days of arriving. They clear every medication you take, including opiate replacement therapy, and staff hand them out.
Group therapy anchors the week, alongside video and oral presentations, reading and writing assignments, and a conflict resolution course. Staff speak from their own experience.
The program follows the Twelve Step model alongside a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach. You work the steps, learn relapse prevention, and attend AA and NA meetings in your community.
Everyone takes a morning walk. Each house has weights and exercise equipment, and some houses run yoga with certified instructors.
House duties, set routines and shared meals build skills and a sense of belonging. Meals include protein, salad and vegetables, and we work with dietary, cultural and religious needs.
You set work and education goals, rebuild family connections and line up community support. Second-stage housing is available for up to two years while you keep making progress.

Who we are

From our early years
We are real people who have ourselves recovered from the horrors and loneliness of addiction.
We offer a way out in a safe and structured centre, with a rigorous program that every one of us follows.
Where it started
In 1988, two people found a way out of the hell they were separately living. Recovery gave Billy and Kim a second chance at life, and it led them to each other. Clean and in love, they dreamed of helping others do the same, and began InnerVisions in half of a duplex in Coquitlam.
Every person who has come through the doors has been given a chance, so long as they were willing to ask for one.
“There is a way out of the loneliness and degradation of addiction. You can overcome the disease of addiction.”
Billy and Kim, founders
A nationally recognized non-profit recovery society
Licensed and accredited residential treatment program
Finalist for excellence in preventing and treating substance abuse, Donner Foundation
Senior staff recognized by the Canadian Counsellors Certification Federation
An in-house training program, so people who complete treatment can learn to work in a residential setting

Questions
Not always. Our intake team talks it through with our addictions physicians and decides based on your health, how you use and your age. If you do need detox first, we can arrange it so you go straight from detox into the program.
Every prescription and over-the-counter medication is cleared through our addictions physician and handed out by staff. Opiate replacement therapies are permitted.
You can, and that is how most people start. Intake is self-referral, so we need to talk to you directly. Doctors, employee assistance workers, family and friends can point you our way, but the commitment has to be yours.
Not for the first 35 days. Letters are encouraged. After that you can make and take calls at set times and plan visits.
We generally do not take people with pending court dates. Talk to intake. Depending on the situation, they can sometimes set your intake for after your court appearances.
You need to be 19 or older, have alcohol or drug use as your main issue, be cleared by our doctor on withdrawal and medications, and be able to take part in a group residential program.

Five short questions, then a time that suits you. Our intake team will talk through your options and what they would look like.
