Hollyburn Family Services

Hollyburn Family Services is a CARF-accredited non-profit social services organization serving North Vancouver and the broader Lower Mainland of British Columbia. With offices in North Vancouver, Surrey, and Nanaimo, Hollyburn delivers a range of community-based health, addiction, and family support services within the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples. The organization’s addiction and outpatient counselling services provide accessible, professional support for individuals dealing with alcohol and drug dependency without requiring residential placement.

Outpatient Addiction Counselling Services

Hollyburn’s outpatient addiction services provide individual counselling and community-based support for adults navigating substance use challenges. The outpatient format offers flexibility — clients can receive professional addiction support while maintaining employment, family responsibilities, and community connections. Counsellors work collaboratively with clients to understand the role substances play in their lives, develop healthier coping strategies, and build sustainable recovery plans. Alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, and opioid addictions are among the substance use concerns addressed.

Health and Harm Reduction Programming

In addition to traditional addiction counselling, Hollyburn operates Health and Harm Reduction Programs that take a pragmatic, non-judgmental approach to supporting individuals who may not yet be ready for abstinence-based treatment. Harm reduction services meet clients where they are, reducing the health risks associated with ongoing substance use while maintaining a connection to care that can eventually support recovery. This broader health lens reflects Hollyburn’s commitment to serving the full spectrum of community need.

CARF-Accredited Family and Community Services

Hollyburn Family Services holds CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation — an international quality standard that demonstrates the organization’s commitment to excellence in client services and organizational practices. This accreditation spans a broad range of programs including mental health, family services, and addiction support. For North Vancouver residents seeking outpatient addiction counselling from a trusted, established community organization, Hollyburn offers professional care backed by decades of service on the North Shore.
