Maverick Supportive Recovery and Career Development Program

Addictions / Substance Use, Employment, and Housing / Shelter

Provided by ASK Wellness Society

A three-phase program that provides substance use treatment, relapse prevention planning, life skills, access to an Addiction Specialist, peer coaching, and career development opportunities.
Phase One – Support Through Early Recovery: This phase is approximately 90 days and includes a rigorous weekly calendar. Being the first stage of programming, it is expected that participants will be in the early stages of recovery and will benefit from the structure and accountability provided at the Maverick. Participants will meet weekly with the Drug and Alcohol Counsellor to establish a detailed Personal Service Plan (PSP), start relapse prevention strategies, and attend the Daily Addiction Relapse Prevention (DARP) meeting offered through Interior Health.

Criteria
  • Individuals must be 18 and older, wanting to abstain from drugs and alcohol while actively working on their recovery and relapse prevention planning.
  • Participants must have at least five days of sobriety (referrals from detox are welcomed) and must be able to actively participate in group programming, as well as Drug and Alcohol counselling.
  • This is a voluntary program.
  • Individuals must be capable of independent living.

Program Fee: Participants in Phase One will be charged a per diem rate of $35.90 per day. Individuals receiving Basic Income Assistance will receive $90 monthly as their comfort allowance. If a participant is on Assistance or PWD, billing for the program fee will go directly through the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction.

Phase Two – Stabilization and Transition: Participants who have successfully completed the Phase One of the MSR will have the option to transition into Phase Two of the program, the Adult Addiction Supportive Housing Program (AASH). This will then extend a participant’s stay for approximately 90 days. This will create a continuum of care and recovery support at the Maverick. This stage of the MSR involves less structured activities but will still include mandatory group programming. It is expected that individuals will remain active in their recovery and become involved in peer support activities that will be offered. This stage will also give participants the opportunity to work with onsite Life Skills workers and Peer Support staff on their Personal Service Plan and goals regarding housing, employment and/or educational upgrading.

Criteria
  • Participants who have successfully completed the first phase of the MSR program and continue to need recovery support.
  • Individuals continuing to live in abstinence, as well as contributing to the recovery environment at the Maverick.

Program Fee
  • Participants will pay $500 per month for the duration of the second phase.
  • Participants will be required to prepare their own meals and attend weekly lunches/dinners as per their personalized schedule.
  • If a participant is on Assistance or PWD, billing for the program fee will go directly though the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction.
  • A $375 damage deposit will also be required prior to starting the second phase.

Phase Three – Work Experience and Transition to Independent Living: Phase Three is offered to participants who have successfully completed the first and second phases of the MSR. If participants choose to remain at the Maverick, they will participate in the program's career development/work experience aspect. Individuals must remain abstinent from substances for the duration of this final phase, except for prescribed medications. The final phase of the MSR can continue for a maximum of four months if the individual chooses to continue with their career development plan, meets regularly with staff, and participates in the Maverick community.

Criteria
  • Participants who have successfully completed the second phase of the MSR program.
  • Individuals continuing to live in abstinence and wanting support with their career development/work experience.
  • People who require additional supportive recovery services.

Program Fee
  • Program fee is $550.00.
  • If a participant is on Assistance or PWD, billing for the program fee will go directly through the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction
