About Us
The Fraser Recovery Program (FRP) was unofficially created in the summer of 1990 and became a non-profit charitable corporation on September 12, 1996. Since its inception, it has been successful in helping close to 2,000 young people who struggle with alcohol and drug problems.
​
Our objective is to help them recognize that they have a problem, cease their abuse and become productive members of society.
Our Approach
Unlike most treatment programs, the FRP helps its clients by providing them with the skills and resources to overcome their substance abuse and to learn to deal with life on life’s terms, without turning to alcohol or drugs; all without removing them from their home and school environments.
Our Perspective on Addiction and Recovery
Substance use can quickly become substance abuse and eventually addiction. It becomes a reflexive way of coping and dealing with life’s difficulties and problems despite all the negative consequences which it brings. The substance becomes the centre of interest, replacing other occupations and activities. We believe that people have the potential and capacity to turn their lives around. With the necessary resources and support, the vicious cycle can be broken, leading to a change of attitude, behaviour and thinking.​
Commitment to Clients
We respond quickly to anyone reaching out for help and offer a safe environment. We are wholeheartedly committed to helping those in need, responding to calls at any time of day or night, and ultimately saving lives. All our services are offered free of charge to participants
