Focus
This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.
Pacifica Treatment Centre welcomes adults 19 and older into their residential substance use recovery. Located in Vancouver near the Main/Commercial SkyTrain Station, Pacifica primarily serves clients from the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health Authority regions. Their typical waitlist is 8 to 12 weeks, though they have priority admission for pregnant women. Even those not quite ready for treatment can engage with Pacifica through its pre-engagement option. Individuals can visit for a meal, meet the team, and ask questions so they know what to expect before committing. This welcoming step helps future clients ease into the recovery process. Treatment lengths tends to last 35 to 84 days, but Pacifica works with each client to determine what length works for them. Clients participate in a 5-phase, trauma-informed approach designed to support growth and stability at every stage. The phases—pre-engagement, orientation, primary treatment, integrative wellness, and resiliency—guide clients from first contact to a confident return to everyday life. Alongside an interdisciplinary team, they work through self-guided workbooks, attend short workshops, and build the skills they need for lasting recovery. Pacifica can integrate experiential, art, and music therapies into its recovery programs, giving clients creative and hands-on ways to process emotions and build resilience. These approaches allow individuals to explore feelings, express themselves, and develop healthy coping tools beyond talk therapy. Clients can choose what experiential therapies to include in their recovery journey. Pacifica’s programs help individuals strengthen their overall well-being while preparing for life beyond treatment. The centre’s community spaces create space to build relationships and support other clients. They also give clients passes for the Vancouver Community Centre during treatment and for 9 months after graduation, encouraging healthy habits that support recovery. For up to 24 months after their stay, clients can also access community-based recovery services that offer continued guidance and connection. An alumni advisory council and volunteer program keep past and current clients connected. Pacifica accepts both public and private funding. Their public funding covers up to 84 days. Additional days cost a max of $45. Pacifica keeps costs down through the generosity of foundations, corporations, and individual donors.
