Our programs are here to help you build the skills, get the info, and find the support you need to kickstart, or keep up your recovery journey.
The best part? Most of our programs are open to join whenever you’re ready, all you need is a quick intake assessment. Plus, we understand that everyone’s situation is different, so our program and admin fees are on a sliding scale. That means you pay what you can afford. And don’t worry, if finances are tight, we won’t turn you away. We’re all about helping you on your path to recovery, no matter what.
The Next Steps
To get started, you can call us, or book an appointment using the following form.
When You Contact Us
When you get in touch with us, our receptionist will ask you some questions and set up an appointment with an Intake Counsellor.
These appointments are available Monday to Friday and take about an hour. You will need to come to our office in downtown Winnipeg.
Don’t forget to bring your medical card, and try to be sober for at least 12 hours (or 48 hours if it’s meth).
At Your Intake Appointment
During your intake appointment, which might last an hour, you’ll meet with an Intake Counsellor. Your Counsellor will help you fill out some forms, and talk to you about your situation and needs. The Counsellor can also help with any urgent issues and connect you to more help if necessary.
Together, you will decide which is the right program for you.
Your Intake Counsellor will introduce you to your Program Counsellor. They will let you know when you can start.
Starting Your Program
On your first day, show up at the SRWC reception area on the 5th floor of 280 Smith Street at least 30 minutes before the group begins. Tell the front desk know it’s your first day.
Your Program Counsellor will give you a tour and explain how the group works, and what to expect. They’ll also get to know you a bit and make sure you feel comfortable here.
Reconnecting with Us
If have already participated in an SRWC program, and need more support, we’re always happy to welcome you back. If it is less than 3 months, you can re-join your group by letting your Counsellor know. If it has been more than 3 months since you last attended, you will need to call for an intake appointment before you can re-join the program. This is to make sure you get the support that fits best with where you are at right now.
