Tailored Recovery Programs for First Responders

At Brick House Recovery Centre, we understand that first responders face unique stressors that can result in high rates of substance use and mental health struggles. Our evidence-based programs are tailored to provide them with the support and resources needed to overcome addiction while respecting their experiences and service to our community.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

For first responders needing a more intensive approach without residential treatment, our IOP delivers focused, therapeutic support while allowing clients to continue with other daily responsibilities. This program includes group and individual sessions, offering a combination of structure and flexibility.

Outpatient Detox

Our outpatient detox program provides medically supervised detoxification, allowing first responders to maintain a connection with family and work support systems. This program allows them to transition safely through the withdrawal process in a structured, supportive environment.

Virtual Detox and Remote Support

For first responders who may have difficulty attending in person due to location or work schedules, our virtual detox and support options ensure they receive consistent and personalized care, regardless of location. This flexible approach allows clients to continue their recovery journey, even when they cannot be physically present.

Aftercare & Relapse Prevention

Our aftercare programs help first responders build resilience and coping mechanisms that support sustained recovery as they continue in their careers. Relapse prevention strategies empower clients to recognize triggers, avoid setbacks and maintain mental clarity when facing stress in their professional roles.

Individual Therapy for First Responders

Through individual and group therapy sessions with others in their profession, we address trauma, stress and resilience-building. Therapy options, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), to help first responders process traumatic events and develop skills to manage future challenges effectively.
