Red Road Recovery

08/31/2025

Today, on Overdose Awareness Day, we at Red Road Recovery come together in remembrance, compassion, and hope.

This day is about more than awareness. It is about honoring the lives lost, standing alongside those still struggling, and working toward a future where no family has to experience the pain of overdose.

Addiction does not discriminate. It touches people of every age, culture, and background. At Red Road Recovery, we remain committed to walking beside individuals and families with compassionate, evidence-based, and culturally rooted care. We believe recovery is possible, and we see the power of community in helping hope take root.

•In Memory: We remember and honor the loved ones lost to overdose. Their lives matter, and their stories remind us of the urgency of this work.
•In Support: We stand with those still struggling. If you or someone you know is in need of help, know that you are not alone, recovery is possible, and support is here.
•In Action: We call on our communities to advocate for treatment access, learn the signs of overdose, and carry naloxone. Every small step can save a life.

At Red Road Recovery, we believe in turning grief into action and pain into purpose. Together, we can build a world where addiction is met with understanding, where stigma is replaced with compassion, and where recovery is within reach for everyone.

If you or someone you love needs support, we are here to help. Reach out today to learn more about our programs and how we can walk with you on the journey to healing. www.redroadrecovery.com

🎉 Celebrating 18 Years Clean – Congratulations, Candace! 🎉

Today we are so proud to celebrate our incredible Team Leader at Red Road Rise, Candace, who is marking 18 years clean. Her journey of resilience, hope, and transformation is an inspiration to us all.

In Candace’s own words:

“Sobriety has given me a life I never could have imagined. I have a beautiful family who walks beside me, and some of the most amazing friendships anyone could ask for.

Eighteen years ago, my counsellor told me to ‘Dream Big’ and once that dream comes true, ‘Dream even bigger.’ I carried those words with me, and today they have become my reality.

This year, I returned to school and earned my diploma as an Alcohol and Drug Treatment Specialist. I am now working towards becoming a licensed Counsellor, something I never would have believed possible.

Today, I have the privilege of walking beside people who are just beginning their journey in recovery. For that, I feel beyond blessed to be part of something greater than myself.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Red Road Recovery for believing in me and for supporting my growth and learning along the way.”

Candace, your story is a shining reminder of the power of perseverance, healing, and strength. We are beyond grateful for the light you bring to Red Road and to everyone whose lives you touch.

Here’s to 18 years of strength and hope—and to dreaming even bigger. 💙

Red Road Recovery is proud to partner with the Tŝilhqot’in National Government to launch the Red Road River Tŝilhqox Healing & Wellness Model, our fifth location.

Thanks to provincial funding, this new three-stage continuum of care will operate across Tŝilhqot’in-owned properties near Hanceville, BC (about 100 km west of Williams Lake).
The program aims to provide culturally safe, land-based, and community-connected recovery services. It is designed to support people from their first steps into recovery through to long-term healing and reintegration:

•10 beds for supportive, pre-treatment recovery
•15 beds of culturally led treatment and healing at the Tŝilhqot’in Healing & Wellness Centre
•10 beds for after-care and long-term healing and reintegration

As CEO Scott Tremblett shared, “True healing begins when people are connected to culture, land, and community.”

We are deeply grateful to the Province of BC and to our Tŝilhqot’in partners. Together, building a path to recovery that honours tradition and strengthens community.

❤️ Congratulations Amanda on 16 Months! ❤️
We’re so proud to celebrate Amanda, an alumni from Red Road Recovery Sorrento, who recently reached 16 months in her recovery journey.

Here’s what she had to share:

“I struggled at first, until I was finally able to surrender and be completely open and willing to listen and truly absorb the information I was being given. I learned how to use the tools that helped me get through the beginning of my journey and continue to carry me forward.

As I passed my one-year milestone, I kept leaning into those tools, kept learning, and kept reaching out when I needed help, without embarrassment or feeling ashamed. That’s one of the most powerful tools I was given, the ability to ask for support.

This past year has been a gift I never thought possible. Recovery has given me more than I ever imagined. What I once thought were losses were really just me gaining my life back.

Never stop before the miracle happens, and there’s more than one miracle.
Trust the process and those who try to teach you. It’s worth it in the end.”

Your words are a beautiful reminder of how powerful surrender, support, and willingness can be. We see your strength and are so proud of the life you’re building. Keep going, Amanda!
