In May 2021, Phoenix Society merged with the Little House Alcohol & Drug Recovery Society, based out of Delta. The merger came about after a joint recognition that the organizations’ values aligned, and together could provide enhanced support to more individuals struggling with substance use and their families.

For over 30 years, Little House Society has been a welcoming space for group recovery meetings. In 2009, the little white house, located on 12th Avenue in Tsawwassen was gutted by fire. As a first step in rebuilding, the group undertook a capital campaign that garnered the support of over 100 local businesses, and many individuals, families, churches, and service groups. Through generous in-kind and financial donations, Little House Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Society reopened June 10, 2012. The 1800 square foot, fully accessible facility, includes a comfortable counselling office, and two meeting rooms that accommodate recovery group meetings, workshops, and educational sessions. Room rentals are open to the community.

Individual Therapy

Effective Jan 8, 2021 until further notice, workshops, support groups and counselling services are offered in-person or via Zoom.

Individual therapy is conducted in a safe, non-judgmental, and private setting with our qualified drug and alcohol counsellors. With the help of our generous donors and the City of Delta, we offer 4 free one-on-one sessions to individuals and families who reside in Delta.

  • FREE Counselling Sessions continue via physically distanced face to face meeting, Zoom or the telephone.  To schedule a counselling session with a Registered Counsellor please call:

SMART Recovery – Self Management and Recovery Training

 

SMART stands for Self-Management and Recovery Training and it offers an on-going cognitive-behavioural therapy group for the management of addiction. Participants are taught about the process of addictive behaviours, triggers, urges, and alternatives to using. SMART is a scientific alternative for people who are seeking independence from alcohol, drugs, gambling, and other addictive behaviours. You can visit www.smartrecovery.org/resources/family.htm for more information.

 

As of November 2022, SMART Recovery meetings are temporarily cancelled.

Heart of the Family Core Education Program

 

  • Do you have a loved-one who is struggling with addiction?
  • Are you feeling overwhelmed, under-equipped, fearful and alone?
  • Do you feel that the stress of coping with another’s addiction is putting your own health at risk?
  • Do you enable, rescue or otherwise “soften” the experience of addiction of your loved-one?
  • Do you focus so much time and energy worrying and caring for the addict there is nothing left for you?

TOPICS INCLUDE:

How to set boundaries and not enable.
How to talk to our loved-ones when they are ready to talk.
