MISSION
The Fraser Recovery Program (FRP), a non-profit charitable corporation, was founded in 1996 with the mission of responding to the needs of youth suffering from alcohol and drug addiction.
There is no shame in being an alcoholic or a drug addict. The only shame is refusing to do something about it. There is no person walking the face of the earth who demonstrates more courage, dignity and integrity, on a daily basis, than an addict in recovery.
Alcoholism and drug addiction are progressive diseases for which there is no known cure, but the progression can be arrested through abstinence. Without treatment, these diseases are too often fatal. Unfortunately, they afflict more and more of the youth in our community. An individual with a recognized problem can be helped by being made aware of the nature of his/her addiction through counselling and a temporary change of environment.
Our objective is to help young people in need, notably young Quebecers, recognize their disease, cease their abuse and arrest the progression of their addiction. Unlike most other treatment programs, the FRP helps youth by providing them with the skills to cope with their addiction, without removing them from their everyday environments. In short, the Program encourages youth to stay sober, stay at home and stay in school.
This help is offered at no charge to them or their parents.
The youth of today are the adults of tomorrow, and so we must do our utmost to give them the necessary tools to become productive members of society.
