When I got back to Nanaimo after treatment, I was

When I got back to Nanaimo after treatment, I was starting over with nothing. That’s when Doughboy aka Dave came through in ways I’ll never forget. He made sure I had groceries, helped me out with funds when I was struggling, and even rebuilt my Harley from the ground up.

He didn’t just fix it; he surprised me with a fresh paint job and kept it running with ongoing maintenance. That bike was my only way to get around back then, and he made sure I was set. His support wasn’t just about the material things—it was about showing me someone had my back.

Now, being in a place to help others the way I was helped feels unreal sometimes and wouldn’t be possible without the support of our entire team & participants.

As we are just one step away from our license from the Vancouver Island Health Authority, Sacred Rebels Recovery is committed to offering four beds a year at a reduced rate AND full scholarships for people who truly need it most, just like my brother Dave made sure I had what I needed when this journey for me began june 10th 2015.

We’re here to help people stop the needless deaths caused by the toxic drug crisis, but it’s not just about stopping substance use — it’s about digging deep, facing the pain, and doing the work to heal what brought us to use substances in potentially harmful ways in the first place.

Welcome to the family, @doughboy666.

Today we visited a federally licensed production f

Today we visited a federally licensed production facility run by our friend Connor, a Navy Veteran, cancer survivor, and expert in medical-grade solventless extraction.

Connor has been part of my journey since the beginning, where we both recognized the healing potential of plants. Seeing him now thriving in the legal framework is inspiring, and we’re excited for the road ahead with @pineapple_connor @charliespineapplereserve

At Sacred Rebels Recovery, we aim to debunk the outdated disease model of addiction. Substance use is a spectrum, and what truly matters is our relationship with substances—not harmful labels like ‘hard’ or ‘soft’ drugs.

Many abstinence-based models condone prescribed synthetic substances while condemning natural therapies like those Connor produces and those we offer to our guests lawfully and supervised by medical & therapeutic professionals.

If addiction is a disease, why isn’t treatment fully covered by the government?

We proudly include this plant in our medication policy and framework, integrating it with detox and withdrawal management because it’s effective and non-contraindicative with AAT.

We’re a plant-medicine friendly program, committed to challenging stigma, empowering healing, and reshaping the recovery narrative.

First and foremost, we’re harm reductionists, along side that comes a progressive stance on treating mental health & substance use disorders with compassion and science based evidence.

PWUD are the experts, we need sensible drug policy reform on all levels, not just plants - we need an entire societal & governmental overhaul and an end to the war on drugs.

More to come 👉🏽 @drug_war_refugee

At Sacred Rebels Recovery - health & fitness are paramount.

I’m a lifetime fan of @propagandhi_official & @jesushchris - I was also recently inspired to get street hockey gear for the men’s treatment center after receiving my @badreligionband hockey jersey in the mail.

A therapist recently asked me:
“How do you get these guys in touch with their inner child?”

Well, today we played some hockey in our driveway on the stolen land we steward in hopes of keeping people alive and preventing the needless deaths of PWUD.

A game I never had the privilege of playing as a kid with an immigrant father and a mother with mental illness & “addiction” in the welfare system.

grateful today for the ability we have to support people in their efforts in addressing the underlying causes of their problematic relationships with substances. We nearly lost our lives countless times.

The government CAN be paying for programs just like this, ask yourself:

Why aren’t alcohol, tobacco, pharmaceutical companies & cannabis companies helping people go to treatment?

For those who believe “addiction” is a disease:

Why are people not being afforded proper treatment options or safe places to consume or receive their substances?

For those who say:

It’s a choice these junkies make!

Can you choose to have a “disease”?

Substance use is a spectrum.
Recovery is not one size fits all.

In 2014 the province of BC denied my application for treatment. 16 years of alcohol, cocaine, opiates and deliberate attempts on my life.

As we work towards licensing and federal/ provincial funding I aim to fund beds here - until that happens proceeds from private paying participants will go into a fund to grant beds to those eligible:

The general public lacks awareness, the public health crisis is a direct result of prohibition and criminalizing PWUD.
Harm reduction saves lives.

And most of all… to the people making racist & ignorant comments on our posts.

What are you doing?

MAKE NO MISTAKE. THIS IS WAR.

Yours truly,

-Sapha H. (Founder & family interventionist)
CPTSD, MDD, SUD, AUD, PWUD, ADHD, ACAB, FTP, FAFO.
The only letters beside my name. Lived Experience.
