The City of Campbell River, Turning Point Recovery Society and North Island Supportive Recovery Society have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to support the development of an addiction recovery centre and second-stage housing development on City owned land located at 1720 Willis Road.

The City of Campbell River, Turning Point Recovery Society and North Island Supportive Recovery Society have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to support the development of an addiction recovery centre and second-stage housing development on City owned land located at 1720 Willis Road.

The City owns the land and buildings at 1720 Willis Road and is looking to enter into a long-term lease for a portion of the lands with the Turning Point and Second Chance recovery partners to facilitate the project.

Second Chance has been operating addiction recovery programs for men in Campbell River for 40 years. They have partnered with Turning Point Recovery Society, who in addition to operating similar models of care, have successfully developed a number of support recovery and housing projects throughout BC.

The proposal would see a 20-bed recovery facility built and approximately 36 second-stage housing units. Staff would be present on the property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Support Recovery is a safe and supportive abstinence-based residential environment to facilitate the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual recovery of the individual. It includes the provision of accommodation, including a bed, food, prescribed medications, and counselling services provided by qualified staff.  Support Recovery offers evidence-based, culturally appropriate and trauma informed individual & group counselling & life skills training to help individuals transition back into the community and aftercare.
