About Inlet Recovery Home

Opening Summer 2026, Inlet Recovery Home is an 8-bed stabilization and supportive recovery program in Port Alberni funded and referred through Island Health. The program will provide adults experiencing substance use challenges and co-occurring mental health needs with a safe, structured, and substance-free recovery environment.

 

Residents may stay between 30 and 90 days while receiving person-centred support focused on stability, daily living, and recovery. Staff are onsite 24/7 to support residents as they build routines, strengthen independence, and reconnect with health and community services.

 

Residents have access to:

  • Private and shared living spaces
  • A substance-free living environment
  • 24/7 onsite staff support
  • Laundry facilities and daily living supports
  • Connections to health care and community services
  • Recovery-oriented and person-centred supports
  • Goal planning and life skills development

 

This program allows people to access treatment closer to home in a supportive, community‑based setting.

 

Funded through the Ministry of Health and Island Health, the service is part of the Province of British Columbia’s Road to Recovery strategy, helping strengthen access to a seamless continuum of care, from withdrawal management to treatment and aftercare services.
