Orchard Recovery Center

Primary Care Program

Men and women (co-ed facility; parts of the daily schedule are gender-specific) · 12-day 'Introduction to Treatment' stay, or full 28- and 42-day programs (42 days typically recommended) · Bowen Island, BC (20-minute ferry from Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver)

A CARF-accredited co-ed residential program on Bowen Island that opens with on-site medically assisted detox and combines individual therapy, group therapy, psycho-educational seminars and relapse-prevention skills with 12-Step recovery coaching and holistic programming (yoga, mindfulness, music and art therapy). Medical staff include nurses on site day and overnight plus a psychiatrist/addiction-medicine specialist, and clients currently on methadone or Suboxone are accepted; rooms are mostly shared accommodations.

Private self-pay program; no rates published — the official FAQ directs callers to intake for pricing and notes the primary program is claimable as a medical expense on Canadian income tax.

Family Programs

Loved ones of clients in the Primary Care Program · Every Saturday; extended two-day program every six weeks · Online (Zoom)

Weekly Saturday family programming delivered entirely over Zoom so family members can take part from anywhere, built around a counsellor-led educational seminar on addiction and recovery plus optional small groups of two to three clients with a counsellor. An extended Friday–Saturday family program runs every six weeks on deeper themes such as rebuilding trust.

All family weekend programming is included in the cost of the Primary Care Program (per official site).
