WE CAN HELP YOU

Addiction Rehab Toronto provides comprehensive addiction treatment for individuals and families suffering from substance abuse, behavioural problems, and their resulting issues. Our unique and specialized programs have been designed to equip our clients with the necessary tools to successfully lead lives filled with dignity, respect and purpose.

TO CONCERNED PARENTS AND LOVED ONES

Welcome to Addiction Rehab Toronto. We understand that if you have found yourself on our site, you are likely experiencing a great deal of pain and confusion in regard to a troubled loved one in your life. We know first hand the effect that this kind of stress and crisis has on the entire family unit. We are here to provide you and your loved ones with the knowledge, tools and emotional support you need in order to begin the recovery process.

Having personally dealt with substance use disorder, as well as facilitated the treatment of others undergoing similar afflictions, we recognize that underlying, unresolved emotional issues manifest themselves in the form of destructive behaviour amongst effected individuals; thus, it is our number one priority to identify and address the core issues behind the behaviour. Treating the external issues or the symptoms (substance use, depression, self-harm etc) is not enough. We believe that it is of utmost importance to equip young adults with a strong sense of self awareness, giving them the power to sustain long-term healing. We encourage the whole family to be a part of the healing process by offering family counselling sessions as well as communicating frequently with parents and loved ones throughout the treatment process.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

"There are times in your life when you so desperately want to make a change for yourself yet finding the people and place to make that change is so hard when that change is for life or death, health and sickness. My name is Nicholas Gould and I am a recovering addict. It took me six times at rehabilitation centres to come to say I am truly in recovery. That sixth one, the one that saved my life and put a stop to my self inflicted suffering brought on by my addiction happened at Addiction Rehab Toronto. Lost, broken, suffering, I was welcomed with open, loving and caring arms by staff and blessed individuals who genuinely wanted nothing more than to see me not just become abstinent, but fully recover. The understanding and willingness to help me succeed is/was nothing I ever believed individuals could have the compassion and ability to do but they did. Night and day, day or night, I was catered to in order to let me see myself excel in turning my life around. I now know how to be grateful, by the true definition, with what I have in my life and what I now can continue accomplishing." - Nicholas Gould

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Addiction Rehab Toronto saved me. My life wasn't going anywhere good until I walked in the front door. All of the counselors and my peers at Addiction Rehab Toronto were amazing and truly welcoming. I made some amazing friends and met some great mentors in recovery. I called Addiction Rehab Toronto home because it really did feel like home for me. Walking in those doors was and is the best decision I've ever made in my entire life. Addiction Rehab Toronto is an amazing and a wonderful place to begin a new life worth living.

I have to say I was really nervous and anxious prior to beginning my 30 day journey at Addiction Rehab Toronto Treatment Center. To my surprise, I felt welcomed, comfortable and relieved within my first few days at the center. The staff, environment and program was great! The other residents and I formed a family bond and I knew from just my first week that I was in the right treatment center and my recovery was off to a great start. I am forever grateful to Justin and all those who helped me get through the tough challenges that recovery can bring to an addicts path.

Addiction Rehab Toronto gave my son a new beginning. Their abstinence-based program provided a safe, non-judgmental environment for my son to unplug and do the necessary work to understand his addiction and to get excited about a drug-free future. The staff at Addiction Rehab Toronto is understanding and compassionate; the facility is clean and comfortable; and the possibilities are endless. Thanks to Justin and his staff, my son has the opportunity to do everything he is meant to do.
