Substance Use

Construction Industry Rehabilitation Plan

The Construction Industry Rehabilitation Plan is a non-profit, joint union/management-sponsored alcohol and drug treatment program that provides mental health and addiction services to members of the BC Building Trades.

It was founded in the mid 1980s in response to a growing need to provide services to men and women in the construction industry with substance use issues. Since its initial inception, the program has evolved and expanded, and today its mission is to provide not only the highest quality of mental health and addiction services for these men and women, but also services that are grounded in evidence and empirically based practices.
