The Abbotsford Addictions Centre, delivered by Archway Community Services, is a community-based outpatient substance use support program in Abbotsford, BC for adults and youth whose alcohol or drug use, and its real-world impacts, has already begun affecting relationships, work, school, housing, or emotional wellbeing. This program helps people work on change in a way that fits their daily life, with free counselling and group support funded through the Fraser Health Authority.
Outpatient Support When Patterns Have Shown Up
People come here when past attempts to manage alcohol or drug use on their own haven’t held and consequences have begun showing up in daily routines: lost work days, strained family roles, disrupted school attendance, or unstable patterns. The centre provides individual, couples, and family counselling, recovery groups, and substance-related support, all in a community setting where participants stay connected to work, home, and school while engaging in recovery work.
Recovery Through Counselling, Groups, and Community Connection
Abbotsford Addictions Centre focuses on one-on-one counselling, recovery and support groups (including Smart Recovery), and peer engagement that help participants build insight and coping skills. The program also serves loved ones affected by someone else’s substance misuse, offering ways to strengthen communication and personal resilience.
Guided by Professional Support With No Cost to Clients
Funded by the Fraser Health Authority and delivered by Archway, the centre’s services are free of charge and culturally sensitive, with options available in English, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. Staff assist with referrals to additional services (such as day treatment or residential care) when deeper support is needed, helping bridge outpatient engagement with next steps in recovery.
For People Balancing Recovery With Everyday Life
This program tends to be used by adults and youth whose substance use has begun interfering with what matters: school, work, housing, or relationships, but who still need to maintain those roles while making changes. It offers practical outpatient support that connects recovery work to daily life.
