The Family Centred Addiction Program (FCAP), based out of Moose Jaw, is an innovative addictions treatment program that supports not only the individual struggling with substance misuse but also their immediate family. This new program is an extension of the Family Treatment Program (FTP) started over a decade ago by Ranch Ehrlo Society. Where the FTP works with families who are struggling with addictions, it is not an intensive addictions program.
Families in this program have their own apartment, within a secure facility, which offers 24/7 on-site staff support. The unique feature of this program is that children do not need to be separated from their parents, they can attend this programming as a whole family. Individuals entering into recovery attend daily structured programming that combines a holistic treatment approach, not only achieving sobriety and relapse prevention, but also supporting these individuals in understanding areas such as trauma, mental health, and co-dependency.
Programming will also be offered to the children and youth that are being impacted by parental substance abuse on a weekly basis. Highly trained staff will provide daily support in the family homes to assist in relationship building, parenting skills, and overall positive family functioning.
