Fraser House Society is a community-based substance use support organization in Mission, BC, serving adults, youth, and families whose alcohol or drug use, and the disruption tied to it, has begun affecting daily life, relationships, school, work, or emotional wellbeing. Fraser House provides outpatient counselling, prevention, outreach, and referral support, prevention, outreach, and referral support that helps people begin recovery while continuing to live their everyday lives.
A Community Hub for Counselling and Connection
People come to Fraser House when attempts to manage substance use on their own haven’t held and the impact is already showing up in routines and roles. The centre offers individual and group counselling for adults, helping them explore patterns of use, develop coping tools, and build steadier habits within community life.
Support for Youth, Families, and Prevention Work
Fraser House’s youth and family services support young people (roughly 12–24) whose substance use or exposure to someone else’s use is affecting school, family relationships, or behaviour, offering confidential counselling, early intervention, and referrals to detox or residential treatment when deeper support is needed. Family members also receive support as part of this work.
Outreach and Rural Connection Services
The centre’s Rural Connections Program extends counselling, prevention, and referral support to individuals and families in the surrounding rural areas, while its Community Outreach Counsellor works to connect those facing barriers (like housing insecurity or isolation) with appropriate services, harm reduction resources, safety planning, and practical support.
Support That Bridges to What Comes Next
Fraser House doesn’t provide live-in beds but helps people navigate their next steps when outpatient engagement isn’t enough, including referrals to detox, residential treatment, or other community recovery supports, so the support people start here can carry forward into broader care.
A Place for Recovery Within Real Life
This centre is often used by adults, youth, and families who recognize that substance use has already begun to interfere with what matters: daily responsibilities, school, work, or relationships, and who need practical counselling, support, and connection to further care while remaining rooted in their community.
