The Windsor Family Health Team, together with our partners at the Essex County Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic, and Windsor-Essex Community Health Centre, will be hosting One Team Recovery Substance Use Recovery Programs throughout the 2025 calendar year.
OTR is a free, co-ed group, 5-week substance use recovery program that supports individuals who are motivated to moderate or abstain from their substance of choice. OTR avoids labelling participants as “addicts” or “alcoholics”. We believe that addiction is an experience and not your identity. OTR is a non-spiritual alternative to 12-step programs, is trauma-informed, and a safe space for the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
OTR is offered 2 days/week, 4 hr/day with program cycles throughout the calendar year. One-to-one sessions are also offered to support recovery outside of group sessions if individuals do not already have counselling supports in place. Participants receive a certificate of completion once they have completed the group.
The Windsor Family Health Team, in collaboration with Windsor Pride Community, offers a specially tailored program for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This program has been designed through an affirmative care lens using a trauma informed approach and aims to provide a safe space for the 2SLGBTQ+ community to participate in and received dedicated outpatient care for substance use.
OTR Family & Friends is a FREE educational group that meets for 90 minutes, 1 night a week, for 4 weeks. This group provides education and resources to family and friends who are looking for ways to support themselves and their loved ones who are dealing with substance use.
