Services

At Akeh Counselling and Services (AC&S), we offer specialized Drug and Alcohol Counselling tailored to support individuals affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Our team of licensed counsellors and addiction specialists work collaboratively with each client to create personalized treatment plans that prioritize safety, dignity, and empowerment. We recognize that substance use is often a response to deeper pain—and we meet our clients with compassion, not judgment. Key Features of Our Program:
