· CARE offers an abstinence base culture and connects women with a recovery community through 12-Step connections and weekly relapse prevention meetings.
· CARE staff include- a registered psychologist, a master’s level process-oriented clinician, a recovery coach with lived experience with addiction, and a doctoral level specialist in Substance Use Disorders who provides psychological evaluations and reports.
· CARE programming is from 9-3pm
· The outpatient online setting works to support women’s own internal motivation.
· CARE for Women is a program for women facilitated by women.

What if your addiction is your body’s way of sending you important information about yourself, information that you could use and respond to in alternative life affirming ways?

We go through a quick screening over the phone to ensure there are no immediate obstacles to receiving treatment.
We then schedule an in-person interview to get to know you, offer you a chance to get to know us, and to ensure that your recovery goals can be met by our model of recovery.
Following a successful interview, an intake schedule will be established.

Our Treatment Models
1835 MODEL OF RECOVERY
At 1835 House the starting point in recovery is abstinence from mind altering substances.
We provide practical tools and treatment that help men learn to live free from old behaviours.
Over the course of treatment 1835 House provides resources, practical tools, mentorship, counselling, and support. Counsellors who are also in recovery are available to clients on-site 24/7.
Both Residential and Day Programs include structured days and participation in a respectful and supportive group setting.
Clients learn new tools for coping with behaviours through an intensive recovery-oriented curriculum.
Working a 12-step program, attending meetings, and establishing a place within a community of recovering peers is the foundation of this healing journey.
