VisionQuest Recovery Society is a non-profit charitable residential supportive recovery society supporting men and women struggling with substance use disorder. The organization currently operates three facilities;
VQ-the Lake: 60 bed men’s 1st stage facility in Logan Lake, BC
Harte House: 10 bed women’s 1st and 2nd stage program in Surrey, BC
Discovery House: 10 bed men’s 2nd stage program in Abbotsford, BC
Additionally we offer an intensive outpatient program for women
The length of our six-month program comes from a neuro-psychological perspective; individuals with addiction have experienced actual brain changes. Given that substance use disorder is a bio (physical), psycho (thoughts and feelings), social (entrenched in and reinforced by relationships and environments), spiritual (loss of purpose and meaning, connection with a higher power and belief system) condition, addressing the challenges that are both cause and effect of addiction is no small task. The benefit of a six-month program is that the client has a significant amount of time to begin to heal their brain, learn new coping strategies and ways of thinking, establish a new “identity” as that of a sober person and connect with others with like-minded recovery goals.

– Anger Management
