For Kamloops residents, leaving the Interior of BC for treatment is already a familiar concept — local options are limited, and many residents have considered or attempted treatment elsewhere in the province. Travelling to St. Catharines takes that a step further, and for many people that additional distance is precisely what makes lasting recovery possible.
Complete separation from your environment. Kamloops’s social networks, supply chains, and familiar triggers are deeply woven into daily life for many residents struggling with addiction. Travelling to Ontario places the full breadth of the country between you and those influences — creating the clean break that early recovery depends on.
Distance from BC’s drug environment. British Columbia’s illicit drug supply is among the most contaminated and accessible in Canada. For many Kamloops residents, physical distance from that environment — not just a change of scenery within the province — is an essential component of early recovery.
Access to a nationally accredited program. Freeport Recovery is CARF accredited and LegitScript certified — independent verifications that our programs meet rigorous national standards for quality and safety. When you are travelling for treatment, the quality and credibility of the program matters enormously.
Privacy across provincial lines. Kamloops is a relatively small city where social, professional, and community networks overlap considerably. Receiving treatment in Ontario offers a level of privacy and discretion that no local or BC-based option can provide.
Immediate admission. In most cases, we can accommodate new clients within days of initial contact — significantly faster than publicly funded residential programs in BC.
A therapeutic environment. Our St. Catharines facility offers access to outdoor space, physical fitness, and wellness modalities — a structured, immersive healing environment designed to support lasting recovery.
