What Is the
Portage Program?
In a safe environment, young people between the ages of 14 and 21 work on the root causes of their addiction problems and learn how to live a healthy and positive life without having to resort to drugs and other substances.
The therapeutic community and support from other residents in similar situations are there to help you regain your confidence and self-esteem. At Portage, we often say that you can do it, but you can't do it alone.
Starting therapy in a residential centre for a few months may seem like an eternity, but it's nothing compared to the rest of your life.

Learn
Portage offers a mandatory school program for teenagers taught by certified teachers from the school boards. The curriculum is adapted to your needs to help you reach your academic goals.
Aftercare and continuing care services help you reconnect with family and loved ones, build healthy social networks and maintain a positive lifestyle after treatment.
Grow
We offer a program adapted to your needs for a duration of 3 to 6 months. Throughout the process, your needs will be re-evaluated and adjusted according to your evolution and the achievement of your goals.
Once the residential phase is complete, you and your peers will join a support group who will help accompany you in achieving your life's goals.
There will be challenging moments and times when you will be proud of yourself for persevering. No one expects you to be perfect. Therapy is based on your own experiences; all you need to do is be yourself and use the tools available. Leaving your family may seem difficult, but at Portage, you will find a warm environment and, most importantly, make friends for life.
