clinical SERVICES
At Axis, we know that education is extremely important for everyone’s well being and healing. Whether it is our intensive outpatient program, intervention, or tailored counselling, we are here to help you on your journey to recovery.
Interventions
Interventions are often a beautiful, positive, loving experience for the whole family. We can help you determine if an intervention might be needed, and we can also save you hours of time, trouble and expense finding the right treatment centre for your loved one or employee.
Long before the actual intervention, interventionist specialists spend a great deal of time understanding these factors:
The clinical needs of your loved one to determine if he or she is a candidate for treatment
If an intervention is an appropriate step
Which treatment centre is the best fit for your loved one
If your family as a whole is equipped to change and heal along with your loved one
Board certified interventionists set your family’s intervention and recovery up for success because we have formal training in interventions, which is quite different even from addictions counselling.
Using our approved education and recognized years of experience, we’re able to use any one of several models of intervention to find the approach that will work best for your family in your path to recovery. After the intervention, our interventionists will accompany your co-worker or loved one to a treatment centre.
Patient Transfer Services
Sometimes, a loved one or co-worker is ready for treatment. When you don’t need an intervention, but you want to make sure your loved one or co-worker arrives at their treatment centre safe and sober, we offer sober escort and sober transportation services.
Why is it helpful to have a professional bring your loved on to treatment?
Our interventionists are in long-term addictions recovery, leading fulfilling lives, which can motivate others to see they can do it too.
Regardless of where you are, we’re available to safely accompany patients to and from treatment centres anywhere in Canada and the US, even on short notice.
Over the last 15 years, our highly trained interventionists have escorted hundreds of people to treatment centres, from executives and entertainers to fathers and teenagers.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Axis is proud to be the Okanagan facilitator of the Intensive Outpatient Program designed by Edgewood, one of North America’s most renowned addictions treatment facilities. Our outpatient treatment program offers therapy and support services for several hours during the week so you have access supportive help to live your life drug and alcohol free.
If you don’t need medical detox or the structure of a 24-hour residential addiction treatment facility, our intensive patient treatment program helps you stabilize, understand addiction and develop a network of support.
Treatment
How does outpatient treatment work?
Phase 1 – Assessment
In our introductory meeting, we’ll spend time learning more about your needs, situation and goals so we can make sure our program is the right fit for you.
Phase 2 – Treatment
In this phase, you’ll take part in therapeutic and educational sessions geared to help you get to the root cause of your addiction, create self-awareness and guide you through recovery.
Phase 3 – Maintenance
Through one-on-one addiction coaching and recovery planning as well as weekly aftercare group meetings, we’ll help you strengthen your resolve and build a new future.
The program is available to those who have previously been to treatment centres.

Counselling is about sharing your truth, realizing something’s not working, and learning a new way so you can heal, regain a healthy life and strengthen relationships. Our team of counsellors treat your recovery with the utmost compassion, respect and the highest standards of ethics.

Counselling for families of loved ones recovering from addictions
At Axis, we believe that lasting healing and change begins when the entire family system is addressed. The counselling we offer to families before and after treatment gives your family a healthy, loving, positive foundation so you can all begin to heal.
Families attend group sessions to receive support and encouragement from other families going through similar struggles.
