Comox Valley Recovery Centre (CVRC) is a not for profit treatment centre located in Courtenay, B.C.

For males ages 19 and older who are struggling with excessive substance use, CVRC is a residential treatment facility offering a 30, 60, or 90-day program.
Depending on the treatment plan and the clinical needs, the course of treatment may be prolonged.

The program is built on the 12 Steps and uses an evidence-based methodology to cater to the unique needs of each patient.
The program is delivered in groups and includes one-on-one counselling sessions.​

Courage in recovery means putting one foot in front of the other, even if we are afraid.
Over time, those trembling steps add up to the life we want for ourselves.

CVRC provides healthy meals, exercise opportunities, and guided educational group activities.
and individual counselling to establish a strong basis for personal development.

The CVRC works hard to maintain its reputation as a secure and therapeutic setting where
clients are given respect, care, dignity, and autonomy.
To ensure that everyone has the chance to take advantage of the opportunities provided,
​they are also required to treat others with the same decency and respect.

CVRC’s approach is congruent with the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (2011) working definition of recovery.
