About Orchard Recovery
Orchard Recovery Center provides a full range of treatment options to meet clients’ personal needs. Flexible lengths of stay build a solid foundation for recovery in clients and their families. Orchard Recovery’s outpatient office in West Vancouver and alumni services provides ongoing support for lasting recovery. Orchard Recovery Center is licensed by the Vancouver Health Authority and accredited by CARF International, both of which demand a process of disciplined, continuous improvement and a framework for organizational excellence. Their comprehensive approach uses the best of evidence-based treatment plans, psychiatric assessments as needed, a cutting-edge curriculum, and holistic modalities, all with the 12-Steps as a foundation.
Orchard Recovery employs expert clinical and administrative staff. Psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, and licensed addiction counselors tend to clients’ needs during all stages of recovery, including detox. They offer a collection of highly expert care and knowledge in the addiction and mental health field, starting with their medical director Dr. Fay. Orchard Recovery rests on Bowen Island, surrounded by lush nature and peaceful forests. Their private location truly removes them from the busy outside world, allowing for rest, serenity, and a full focus on recovery.
Orchard Recovery delves into all aspects of addiction, primarily the mental health conditions so often lying behind it. Treating both areas of co-occurring disorders is important to lasting recovery, which is why Orchard Recovery seeks to find and treat the cause(s) of addiction. They do this through evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), holistic therapies like yoga, and 12-Step programming.
Orchard Recovery currently houses a maximum of 25 clients, which allows for a boutique, intimate experience for each client. Low staff-to-client ratios ensure everyone gets the care and attention they need. Adding to this, each client has their own addictions counselor and recovery coach walking with them in their recovery journey. Individual and group sessions connect clients to themselves and others. Orchard Recovery’s family and couples programmes connect and heal strained relationships, providing the addiction and psychological education loved ones need to help support those in recovery. On-site, clients can enjoy some of Orchard Recovery’s newest staff members–therapy goats Jimmy and Billy, aptly named after Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous founders.

"The Orchard's clients are provided an exceptional opportunity to reclaim their lives. The goal is for them to leave feeling emotionally strong, personally accountable and enthused about lifelong recovery. We put the heart and science into addiction recovery." –Lorinda Strang, Executive Director & Co-Founder (Personal Recovery Established 1989)
Asking for help is one of the most important steps on the road to recovery, one that Orchard Recovery honors with respect and action. A balance of healthy boundaries, respect, and genuine care instills safety and trust between their clients and staff, creating the healing environment required for sustainable recovery.
Orchard Recovery deeply understands the need for family involvement in recovery. They provide family education and support groups, catering to the needs of loved ones and providing them with tools to help those in recovery thrive. Family and client care extends long after residential treatment with Orchard Recovery, allowing for healing to make its full and complete impact.
Orchard Recovery uses a set range of treatment dates, knowing that work and family needs often demand a set date to schedule around. For that reason, Orchard Recovery offers 12, 28, and 42-day stays at their Bowen Island location. A stay of 12 days helps introduce treatment and set goals and plans into place, while longer stays implement those plans. Extended stays are typically decided upon need.

First and foremost I’ll share that June 12th 2022 was my 13th sobriety birthday and I thank the Orchard every single day for teaching me how to “fill my toolbox with tools” to help me realize triggers, deal with my anxiety and fears, the ability to understand what my trauma was and how to build a string program specifically for me! The Councillors are stellar and I loved that many of the staffers are in recovery themselves so they truly get it.The location is spectacular and very unique, it allows you to escape the drama of the outside world and focus on you and only you!This was the one time everything was all about me as it was ok! I laughed I cried I made life long friends, I ate truly amazing food ( and I’m a foody) for breakfast lunch and dinner, worked out daily, walked my first labyrinth and slept soundly in my cozy bed.Detox was so much easier than I thought with the support of everyone around me I was used to becoming quite ill when ITried to quit drinking and drugs but with the support and medical team it was easy peasy!!I’m now clean and sober, have my adult children back in my life and a family that loves and supports me… oh and they are proud of me!!!If you have the opportunity to go to The Orchard to address the disease of addiction PLEASE GO!!!I promise you it will be the best thing you ever ever do for yourself…. And holy moly the desserts are DIVINE!!!One day at a time my friend! Constance B
