First Steps

Upon acceptance into ONE80TC’s residential program, participants begin in our Transition Group. This foundational phase builds the essential skills for recovery, wellbeing and personal development.

Participants engage in structured learning focused on:
- Stages of change and understanding patterns of behaviour
- Goal setting and personal development
- Social skills, communication and conflict resolution
- Self-identity and emotional wellbeing
- Relapse prevention and risk awareness
- Understanding depression, anxiety, shame and anger
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Techniques
- Smoking cessation support

Participants then progress to the next phase, applying these principles through structured learning, group work and practical life strategies.

Comprehensive Support
ONE80TC provides a structured program that supports the whole person, including mental health, substance use and broader life challenges.

Supports include:
- Self-paced learning programs
- The 12-step addiction recovery program
- Group activities and team-based learning
- One-on-one mentoring with caseworkers
- Professional counselling with psychologists
- Support from trained staff

Participants work with their caseworker to set goals across:
- Self-identity and personal growth
- Family and relationships
- Work and responsibility

ONE80TC supports individuals with psychosocial disability, including those experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. Our program focuses on building capacity, improving daily functioning and supporting independence. This is achieved through structured supports in life skills, routine, wellbeing and community participation.

Life Skills Training

Participants are supported to build independence, develop daily routines and strengthen practical life skills. This includes work readiness, confidence and skills for independent living, helping participants prepare for life beyond the program and ongoing community participation.

Teamwork

ONE80TC operates as a therapeutic community where participants support their own progress and that of others. Teamwork and accountability help build strong support networks and a sense of belonging.

Family Reconciliation

Participants are supported to rebuild trust, strengthen relationships and develop healthier ways of connecting with others through guidance and counselling.

Counselling

Participants have access to psychologists and AOD counsellors through individual and group sessions, supporting emotional wellbeing and co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges.

Relationship support is also available where appropriate.

Program Completion

Participants progress through structured stages, celebrating milestones along the way. The program concludes with a Graduation Celebration, marking the transition to greater independence, stability and ongoing personal growth.
