PAARC was established in the late1980s, as a program within the Region of Peel's Health Department. PAARC divested from the Region and became incorporated in 1993. We serve people who are concerned about their own or someone else's use of alcohol and/or drugs, or harmful gambling behavior. PAARC is a non-profit, community based agency, providing assessment, case management and counseling services. We offer a person-centred approach, and welcome all who need or want help. PAARC embraces the full spectrum of recovery, including harm reduction, and we work with individual clients together to develop treatment plans, provide referrals, or otherwise support clients towards meeting their goals.
PAARC's services are free of charge to our clients. We are funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, through the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network, and through our partners in the Central West Local Health Integration Network and the Region of Peel.
PAARC's values include respecting all who are served by our agency, and we respect the privacy of our clients. PAARC adheres to all federal and provincial legislation applicable to our organization and its work.
PAARC's workers are skilled, dedicated and highly ethical. We strive to maintain up to date knowledge about our field and the skills required to provide good quality care.PAARC is beginning the process of becoming accredited.
Anyone can refer. However, we encourage direct contact from the person who will be receiving service from us so that we can ensure that the person is attending voluntary, and to allow us an opportunity to be welcoming to the person to reduce their anxiety and to inform them about their first visit to PAARC.
