WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS!! At AAPRICOT, we have been treating addiction disorders in the underserved for more than five years. Our philosophy guides us in that we treat clients "where they are at." Our inter-professional team is compassionate, client-centered, and helps to assist clients in meeting their goals. We are a referral-based front-line community partnership program, hosted by our community partners Good Shepherd Ministries and Fred Victor. At AAPRICOT, clients receive timely access to addiction assessment, addiction counseling and addiction-focused psychotherapy. We teach relapse prevention techniques and build coping skills for dealing with the recovery journey. At AAPRICOT we consider all clients as part of our team, and use inter-professional case conferences to ensure clients are treated with the utmost of care. As a team, we are able to support each other to best support our clients. AAPRICOT runs group programs and workshops at our host sites. We are the only program in Toronto that provides qualified addiction-physician and addiction psychotherapy-physician led support for clients that are under-served. |
