SHARE Resources

Adult Substance Use Services (ASUS) SHARE’s Substance Use Services Program provides free, confidential counselling services to individuals living in the Tri-Cities, Anmore, or Belcarra and aged 25+ who have concerns about their substance use or the substance use of someone they care about. We can also support those seeking a referral to live-in/bed-based treatment.

The program provides a wide range of services: individual and/or group counselling and brief family/friends service navigation, referrals for other services including live-in/ bed-based treatment, substance use information and education.

We believe that substance use affects all walks of life and that problematic substance use is the result of a complex interaction between biological, psychological, spiritual, and social factors unique to each individual. We offer a supportive atmosphere, where individuals are invited to explore substance use-related issues and consider options for a healthier lifestyle. These services respect the integrity of each human being and believes that each person has the ability to change and to accept personal responsibility for his/her health.

We require “informed consent” from you to proceed with services. Before you consent to services, we will review your rights, your responsibilities and confidentiality. We will make sure to answer all questions to the best of our ability to ensure that.

As a client you have a right to receive confidential service, to be free of abuse, exploitation, humiliation, and neglect and to be treated with respect at all times. Further, you have a right to access any information that we have about you. If at any time you believe that your rights are not being respected, we encourage you to connect with your counsellor or other SHARE staff indicated on your consent to service form. Confidentiality will be talked about at your first appointment with your counsellor. Materials on Information Sharing within Mental Health and Substance Use in BC (click here to view PDF)

    Harm Reduction, Overdose Prevention and Naloxone Information

    Our humble disclaimer - we offer the following resources to ALL who access the SUS program - we treat this like First Aid in that we may not necessarily anticipate needing to use CPR or the Heimlich, but if a situation arises in which we do, we all best be prepared! It is to be noted that you cannot use Naloxone on yourself, and thus having the knowledge allows a person to be in support of others in their life, but does not support that individual’s safety. Thus, sharing this knowledge amongst the community is the best way to support overdose response. To be clear - there is no research speaking to overdose risk with folks who use cannabis only. Having said that, we are in an overdose epidemic and we feel it is our program’s responsibility to destigmatize overdose and educate all we can about the life-saving basics that may be useful in any environment in the current landscape.
