\nPortage Program?<\/strong>\n\t

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.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0therapeutic community<\/strong>\u00a0and support from other residents in similar situations are there to help you regain your confidence and self-esteem. At Portage, we often say that\u00a0you can do it, but you can’t do it alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTake a first step\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n

Grow<\/p>\n\t

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t
