Mission 

Portage fosters the strengths and skills of substance dependent persons to enable them through comprehensive and cost-effective interventions based on the therapeutic community approach, to live lives of sobriety, filled with dignity, self-respect, and accomplishment.

Vision 

Portage will develop its unique, positive psychology–based therapeutic community approach in order to be recognized as a standard in the field. It will offer both residential and non-residential services, as well as training, project management and community development in collaboration with other providers in a continuum of services.

Values

• Portage strongly believes in the capacity of human beings to strive towards freedom of choice, dignity and autonomy. For Portage, the pursuit of a personal growth is the inevitable result of the mobilization of the individual’s internal resources fostered by the stimulating and enriching influence of a favourable environment.
• Portage believes in being expressly client-centred, emphasizing the security of the client and delivering quality services with financial and management discipline.
• Portage has an unconditional respect for the capacity of individuals to grow and make appropriate choices for themselves.
