The Portage resident’s philosophy:
President’s report
Forty years ago, members of the Montreal community met at the home
of Sydney and Rosalie Lecker and determined to introduce the therapeutic
I have come here in search of myself. Confused and afraid, I have lived my
life in the shadow of drugs. I had rejected all who cared for me and loved me.
I had become a stranger to my family. Guilt, lies and hurt became my most
intimate companions, drugs and alcohol my most cherished friends. I belonged
nowhere and to no one. I felt desperately alone. Here at last, I have found true
friends. I no longer need to be the giant of my dreams or the dwarf of my fears.
I am allowed to be genuine, to express my emotions. My friends act as a mirror
for me, our common quest heals me. The strengths, love and hope that live within
me now become beacons for my life. From here I will go forth, whole once more,
self-knowing, confident and aware, never to live in the shadows again.
community model of treatment to Canada. Then and now the model
offers the most comprehensive positive outcomes for dependent persons.
Three years of intense effort, during which Dr. Lecker’s genius and insight
played a critical role, produced the original Portage program.
Today, I am proud to say that the services provided by Portage have
increased dramatically and are now offered across Canada. Furthermore,
community commitment and involvement, so central to the Portage
philosophy, remain our principal source of strength and success.
Portage is also working its way through its 2007-2011 Strategic Plan and continues to operate based on
annual plans in all its centres. This plan incorporates experiences and insights gathered while rendering
services across Canada and many parts of the world. I am proud to say that Portage achieved substantially
all its intended objectives and priorities during the reported year.
To ensure that Portage meets the highest standards, we have undertaken to secure accreditation for all of
our sites across Canada. This provides the opportunity to review our practices and to follow procedures,

and overall quality. This year all of our operating centres obtained the Accreditation Primer award.

Message from the Executive
Director
Essential, innovative, excellent, and responsive are adjectives frequently used to
describe the Portage Organization and its services to the community. This enviable
public perception is the result of nearly 40 years of diligence and dedication
to develop and offer state-of-the-art addiction treatment at modest cost.
Portage is renowned for its commitment to its clientele and community, offering
a comprehensive range of services that exceed all expectations.
This year, Portage has pioneered a “continuing care” model to ensure that those
who have been admitted to a Portage facility will continue to receive two years
of ongoing therapeutic support, regardless of the duration of their residential
stay. Maintaining phone contact, individual and group counseling, as well as
referral services are some of the ways Portage will continue to support all those who cross its threshold.
This ensures that the entire continuum of care that exists in a community will be marshaled to address
the needs of this clientele. Many substance abusers who otherwise would be lost to the system will be
maintained on a treatment trajectory, greatly enhancing their probability for recovery.
Mandate
Portage’s mandate is to support individuals in their
efforts to manage their dependency problem so
that they may once again become self-confident,
productive citizens, by means of effective and
proven interventions based on the therapeutic
community approach.
2009: An Exciting Year in the Life of Portage
After 10 years of effort, Portage British Columbia opened its doors at “The Crossing” near Keremeos, where
42 boys and girls from 14 to 18 years of age can now receive care.
Also this year, Portage Ontario received licensure and funding as a health care provider, and as a result,
important enhancements in mental health and social services.
In Québec, we are in the process of moving our centre currently located at Saint-Damien-de-Buckland
to lovely new surroundings in nearby Saint-Malachie, which will provide us with increasing programming
opportunities and superior facilities.
In Atlantic Canada, Portage is completing the first phase of an extensive construction project, creating a
campus that is specifically designed for Portage’s needs, offering living and program space for 64 male and
female youth. Future phases of construction will include the construction of an athletic complex.
We are all very proud of what we have achieved to date and are excited by our future challenges. We have
the expertise, the energy and the commitment to respond to the ever growing demands for our services.
Portage’s outstanding and devoted personnel ensures that we remain the nation’s foremost addiction
treatment provider, respected internationally for our excellence.

Headquartered in Montréal , Portage is a nonprofit organization devoted to the treatment
and rehabilitation of substance abusers.
In 2008-2009, nearly 2,000 substance abusers benefitted from
therapeutic residential or external services through one of Portage’s
thirteen programs. Annually, Portage’s intervention has an impact on
the life of thousands of people, including the families and friends of
substance-dependant persons in treatment.
The different Portage centres welcome both adults and adolescents,
mothers with their young children aged between 0 and 6 years old,
and mentally ill chemical abusers.
The Portage program is based on the acquisition of 21 competencies
that help residents develop the confidence necessary to remain sober
and to actively reintegrate into society. Knowing how to express
oneself in an appropriate manner, how to actively participate, how to
demonstrate empathy, how to help to resolve conflicts, how to work
as a team, how to ask for help, and how to have realistic goals and
objectives, are examples of competencies that the residents develop
and master by the end of their time at Portage.
An organization with
its people’s success
at heart!
Nearly 75% of substance abusers who
get treatment at Portage are poly-drug
users, that is to say they consume more
than one drug.

management and individual treatment planning remain essential to
each person’s experience.
Program for Mentally Ill Chemical Abusers
In 1995, Portage introduced an innovative residential program to meet the needs of addicts who suffer
from mental illness, primarily from schizophrenia. The collaboration between the psychiatrist, the treating
medical personnel, the resident’s family, and Portage staff allows residents to become more independent
and functional in society.
The residential program is followed by an aftercare program, which lasts for 6 to 24 months and can be
completed in supervised apartments. Because of the program’s popularity, there is a significant waiting list.
The expansion of the program is a principle objective of Portage.

The La Rive Troupe
Through a partnership with Bell and Service Canada, young Portage
graduates created and directed a play entitled L’Impasse, under
the supervision of a Portage staff member. The play, which delivers
a social message of prevention, has been presented in schools and
youth houses in the Montréal region. This year, the La RIve troupe was
honoured at the Festival de théâtre Art Neuf where it won three prizes:
the prix de l’interprétation/prix PAP, the mise en scène/prix NTE and
Research
the scénographie/prix Théâtre Denise-Pelletier.
So far, our research shows that:
Training & reintegration
into the workplace
To help people who have completed therapy, Portage also offers job
training services in Québec City and Montréal. Established in 1986
in Québec City, the Employment Readiness Centre prepares the
participants to re-enter the job market or to return to their studies.
In 2009, Portage continued its research on the adolescent and adult clientele of the lac Écho Centre.
This research was carried out from January 2003 to March 2008, included all the adult and adolescent
residents who participated in more than fifteen days of therapy, and was conducted under the direction of
Dr. Serge Brochu and his associates at the Université de Montréal.
From left to right: Linda Venne,
coordinator of the Festival Art Neuf;

• Therapy is beneficial to the substance abusers, regardless of the length of their stay;
• The benefits received from therapy have long term effects;
• The longer the duration of the therapy, the higher the likelihood of success.
The research illustrates that the length of treatment is a critical factor in the reduction of consumption of
illicit drugs. Indeed, the research findings show that eight months after leaving Portage, close to 80% of the
subjects who stayed in treatment at least six months are abstinent, whereas 37.7% of those who left within
two months remain abstinent.
In 2002, in partnership with the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon,
Portage founded a pilot project aimed at the chronically unemployed:
the MIRE program (Movement for Integration and Retention in
Employment). Its principal objective was to break the dependence on
welfare and to ensure that participants can find work to meet their
needs and achieve financial independence. This initiative, participated
in by a significant percentage of Portage graduates, has been very
successful. Since October 2008, Emploi-Québec has included MIRE in
its programs and has ensured its long-term funding.
Annually, the job training and job market reintegration services at
Portage help close to 400 people gain employment.
Aftercare
& family support
Aftercare is essential in the continuity of services offered by Portage.
The participants have access to group therapy sessions or to individual
follow-up, allowing them to strengthen the competencies acquired
during their time at Portage. This program teaches social engagement
and promotes access to community services.
Portage Acquired Skills Scale (PASS)
In 2004, Portage’s Research Department developed the Portage Acquired Skills Scale (PASS) measuring
Portage also offers support to the families and companions during the
reintegration stage. Services for families, individual consultations, and
couple’s therapy and support groups are important elements of the
Portage program.
This year, through the generosity of the Lucie et André Chagnon
Foundation, Portage introduced Les Habitations Communautaires

tool to guide staff in the preparation of individualized treatment plans. The PASS measures progress in the
acquisition of the 21 competencies of the Portage program. It also provides identification of other aspects of
development during therapy and facilitates the transfer of this information to outside professionals.
Progress in psychological and social approaches to therapy is difficult to describe in objective terms. The
PASS is Portage’s answer to this challenge. Portage believes in the importance of continuous evaluation in
order to constantly improve its programs and the quality of its services. Its philosophy is to include the best
practices in the therapy offered. The PASS validates the impact of these improvements through empirical
research. This approach is intended to keep Portage on the cutting edge in the field of substance-abuse
therapy.

“Making Miracles Happen”
Capital Campaign
The “Making Miracles Happen” capital fundraising campaign has
already made it possible to construct the service building and the
dormitories for boys and girls and to invest the necessary sums to
advance the construction work on the main building.
Without the support of generous donors, the project would not have
happened. Until now, the campaign commitments represent close
to 1.5 million dollars. But it’s not over yet! The fundraising activities
will continue in order to complete and equip the interior of the main
building, which will comprise of classrooms for the residents, a
conference room, a nurse’s office, and a common room. There is great
pride in the progress made so far as well as hope that the coming year
will mark the completion of the new campus facility.

surpassing the $100,000 goal. The “Summer Kick-Off” 2008
and 2009 concerts that were held in Florenceville-Bristol raised
$50,000 for Portage. Portage would like to recognize the
significant contribution of AYR Motor Express Inc. which, through
its exceptional active partnership, allowed Portage to meet
its financial goal.
This year, Portage Atlantic is breaking new ground by holding
a series of community breakfasts. The annual campaign will raise
funds to offer continued care services, to implement activities
outside the program for the residents, and to encourage the
development of our employees so that they may continually
improve our program.
The Community: An Essential Partner
to Portage Atlantic’s Success
The community’s participation and the importance of having
spokespersons with ties to Portage significantly contribute to
reaching financial goals. Portage Atlantic is particularly touched
by the enthusiasm of the communities in several regions of
New Brunswick. Whether through partnerships, the organizing
of fundraising activities or donations of educational supplies,
technological tools, or furniture for the Cassidy Lake Centre,
Portage is well supported by the community.

The Portage Ontario
Annual Campaign
The Portage 2008-2009 annual campaign raised
over $250,000 in support of two key program areas
in addition to a number of other smaller projects.
The Portage Ontario
Youth Treatment Fund
The Portage Ontario Youth Treatment Fund
provides additional treatment beds for youth who
need urgent access to residential treatment. This
fund enables Portage to respond to youth and
families in a more timely way than would otherwise
be possible. Thanks to the generosity of supporters
of the program, Portage is able to provide treatment
and follow-up care for an extra 24 youth and their
families this past year.

previously known limits and test their new-learned
skills, self-confidence, and self-awareness. As of this
year, Outward Bound experiences have become a
regular feature of the Elora program.
Annual Fresh Start Dinner and
Auction: A Phenomenal Success!
Hosted once again in the home and garden of
Dr. Peter and Susan Schaal, on June 2nd, the annual
Fresh Start event raised $85,000 for the Portage
Ontario Youth Treatment Fund, which helps youth
get more immediate access to the care they need
at Portage at Elora.
Outward Bound:
An Exercise in Self-reliance
Consistent with its philosophy of teaching selfreliance and teamwork, Portage embarked on a
partnership with Outward Bound Canada, which
shares the values and social responsibility that
Portage instils in its residents. Last year, nine young
women had the opportunity to participate in a
21-day excursion as part of their program. The girls,

appreciation for the experience. I will
cherish the memories for my whole life !”
-Outward Bound participant
In 2008-2009, Portage’s continuing efforts to expand access to its
Ontario program came to fruition when Portage secured new funding
from the Ministry of Health and became an official Health Service
Provider. Under the new agreement with the Waterloo Wellington
Local Health Integrated Network (WWLHIN), youth referred by
parents, family physicians, other addiction agencies, and schools will
have access to treatment at Portage.

The Portage Program

Board of Trustees
January 2009: In response to a request for support from the community
of British Columbia, Portage entered into a service agreement
with Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health Authorities. Under this
agreement, Portage receives the necessary funds to administer
a 42-bed residential treatment centre for young people aged
14 to 18 years, near Keremeos in British Columbia.
Since 2006, prior to the opening of the centre at Keremeos, nearly
60 young people from British Columbia, most over 18 years of age,
have received treatment in Portage Centres in Québec, Ontario or

New Brunswick. The centre at Keremeos represents a step in the
right direction. However, the need for treatment for substance
abusers over 18 years of age is such that the available service does
not meet demand.
The official opening on January 22nd, 2009 represented the
culmination of a great dream for Portage and its partners. However,
this dream would not have become reality without the efforts of many
who believed in the therapeutic community approach and who were
inspired by Portage’s success elsewhere in Canada. In particular,
From Grief to Action, an ardent promoter of Portage with decisionmaking bodies, believed in the mission and worked tirelessly in support
of the program.
The contribution of the Central City Foundation of Vancouver was
critical. The Foundation contributed over a million dollars, in addition
to heading a Capital campaign to raise an additional 5.5 million dollars,
which allowed the construction of the necessary facilities to offer
quality services in a peaceful environment.
Portage British Columbia begins its first year in Keremeos with
enthusiasm and commitment. Drug dependency is a major issue in
British Columbia and Portage’s contribution will provide hope to those
young people who really need it.
