A Loved One Needs Help
If you or someone that you know has a loved one that is struggling with an addiction, iRecover can play an important role in their treatment, recovery and aftercare. We also support our alumni families so they never need to feel as if they are doing this alone. Their hypervigalence often fosters bringing in outside support such as an interventionist to properly deal with the accompanying issues when confronting an addict.
If your husband, wife, brother or sister, parent, extended family member, neighbour or even a friend is struggling, help can be as simple as one phone call to our team to get them started on their journey to recover. One call really could save a life. In some situations, that call could be to an interventionist whose role is to play a integral part in getting a loved one into rehab. By arranging an intervention with the person suffering from the substance abuse disorder or other addictive behaviour, they have the training and experience to get the person into treatment.
Following treatment, addiction recovery can include arranging or providing a referral for the individual to attend a sober living program. Drug addiction help extends beyond just the detox and recovery program but includes the aftercare program and support of friends, family employers and their community. During the healing process and over time, friends and families can work on steps to rebuild trust with the individual as they deal with their trauma of recovery.

I am a Lawyer / Legal Assistant
The team an iRecover has been working with legal professionals in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer and smaller communities across Alberta. Together we help clients that struggle with their drug and alcohol addiction that has resulted in their involvement within the criminal justice system. Depending on the individual’s circumstances, attending an addiction treatment center in Alberta that provides private alcohol rehab and drug rehabilitation, may have a positive impact on the courts ruling and the sentencing. Responsible individuals that know they have a drug or alcohol problem often enter addiction treatment before they loose their license which quite often is mandatory for their employment.

DRUG COURT
The Provincial Court of Alberta started a Drug Treatment Court in 2005. The program is intended to break the cycle of criminal behavior driven by drug addiction, by offering participants a chance to avoid prison and complete a drug treatment program in the case of non-violent offences. The program is comprehensive and aims to reduce the number of crimes committed to support drug dependence through judicial supervision, drug abuse treatment, frequent drug testing, incentives, sanctions and social services support.
