Recovery is Personal
Recovery is Personal at Heritage Home
At Heritage Home, an alcohol treatment centre in Quebec, we know that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. For decades, people were told that true recovery meant total abstinence from alcohol and other substances. While abstinence can be a powerful choice, it is not the only path to healing.
We believe recovery is about reclaiming your life, your health, and your sense of purpose — whether that means choosing lifelong sobriety or learning how to moderate alcohol use in a safe and sustainable way.
Personal Recovery Solutions for Alcohol in Quebec
Traditional programs often promote abstinence as the only option. But research shows that many people successfully overcome alcohol problems through moderation. At Heritage Home, we honour both journeys.
Some of our clients thrive in complete abstinence, while others find stability and meaning by moderating alcohol use. Both paths are valid. Both can lead to a productive, connected, and fulfilling life.
Our alcohol rehab program in Quebec provides Personal Recovery Solutions that respect your individual goals and empower you to take control of your recovery.
Why Tailored Recovery Options Matter
When alcohol recovery is defined only as abstinence, many people feel excluded or hesitant to seek help. They may worry they don’t “fit the mold” or fear being judged for exploring moderation. This stigma keeps too many people from getting the support they need.
At Heritage Home, we tailor your treatment options so they adapt to your goals. Our team uses evidence-based therapies, modern harm reduction strategies, and compassionate care to help you build a recovery plan that works for your unique needs.
SMART Recovery®: Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment
We proudly use the SMART Recovery® program at our facility. Unlike traditional 12-step models, SMART Recovery is a science-based, self-empowering approach to recovery that focuses on:
Building motivation for change
Coping with urges
Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
Living a balanced life
We are also affiliated with SMART Recovery USA, giving our clients access to a global network of recovery resources, online meetings, and peer support. This ensures continuity of care beyond your time at our alcohol treatment centre in Quebec.
A Recovery Model Rooted in Choice
At Heritage Home, we integrate SMART Recovery tools with personalized treatment and harm reduction strategies. Some clients discover that moderation management helps them rebuild their lives without destructive patterns. Others choose lifelong abstinence and find strength in that clarity.
The key is this: recovery is not about fitting into one definition. It is about finding what works best for you — and having the professional support to succeed.
