We believe that by working together we can help Portage and at the same time help ourselves by developing a common purpose, a sense of community and the benefit of teamwork.
Portage at a Glance
Portage is a recognized treatment organization dedicated to addressing the serious problem of substance abuse and its devastating consequences in communities. Portage was founded in Montréal in 1970 by a group of citizens who were concerned about the drug problem in the city. The first treatment centre opened in Prévost, in the Laurentians, in 1973.
Over the years, Portage has expanded its services in the province of Québec to serve Québec City and the eastern region in addition to opening treatment centres in Ontario and New Brunswick. In January 2001, Portage inaugurated a new treatment centre in the West Island of Montréal to provide services to Anglophone adolescents. The Mother and Child Program and the MICA Program were relocated in Montreal in 2007. In 2009 Portage opened a new centre in Keremeos, B.C. Portage has also helped to establish treatment centres in Europe, Asia and elsewhere in North America.
