About PLEA
Waypoint treatment program is designed for young men from 12-18 years of age with addiction issues.
- Referrals to the program are accepted only from probation officers within the province of British Columbia.
- Referrals are reviewed by the admissions screening committee on a monthly basis.
- We will contact the referring agent after the Screening Committee review to advise you of client suitability and estimated wait times.
- The treatment components include teacher supervised education, psychosocial educational sessions (including life skills, anger management, relationship building, communication skills, etc.), individual, group and family counselling and social and recreational activities.
- We ensure that all youth who wish to enter the program have equal access and will not be denied due to geographical distance, ethnicity or culture, or their assumed ability to complete the program.
- For youth referred on a probation referral, the youth's probation order must be long enough to see them through the waitlist and treatment process (recommend at least eight months).
- The youth's probation order must have a condition to attend a residential
attendance program.
For questions about referrals or intakes call 604-585-9195
