Drugs and addictions: a half-way house for the Miramichi

Vision
abstinence, 12-step based program

Promise
You recover or we tell you why you didn't this time

The concepts
Happiness comes from:
- feeling connected (part of something greater: a group, a mission...)
- having a purpose
- having meaning

The program
1. Help the resident understand who they are
Work through childhood trauma
Toxic elements in the personal, family and peers narratives
2. Help the resident reword their narrative, keep what is good (promotes growth) and get rid of what is toxic for their development
3. Expose the residents to different tasks and activities to help them discover what they enjoy doing
4. Help them articulate a vision for themselves and their life, with a touch of entrepreneurship
Setting reasonable personal and professional goals for their lives after
