Support for Families and Loved Ones
Recovery is a journey that involves the whole family. At Portage, we offer dedicated support groups and one-on-one counselling to help families navigate the challenges of addiction recovery, break isolation, and build a strong support network.
Our family services provide a space to share experiences, learn about the therapeutic process, and gain tools to support your loved one’s reintegration. Our parent-adolescent groups help rebuild trust, encourage open dialogue, and support the journey toward well-being.
On-site School
We offer on-site schooling tailored to the needs of youth in rehabilitation, taught by certified teachers from the Department of Education. Small class sizes and personalized support foster a positive learning environment.
The academic program helps students regain confidence, reconnect with their education, and build a foundation for future success—both in school and in life.
