Explore our programs

Tailored rehabilitation treatments for every stage

Each program is built to serve a specific need, from withdrawal to long-term reintegration. Whether you’re beginning or continuing recovery, there’s a guided path forward.

ADHD

ADHD can make addiction harder to treat but with the right structure, support, and care, recovery is absolutely possible.

Anger Management

Uncontrolled anger and substance use often go hand in hand. We help clients understand the root of their behaviour, rebuild control, and recover for good.

Anxiety

Rehab for substance abuse and anxiety treatment

Bipolar

Bipolar disorder is complex, especially when addiction is also in the picture. Our inpatient rehab program supports people with bipolar disorder using proven treatment options that address both.

Depression

We support people experiencing depression and addiction with evidence-based, compassionate treatment. Our inpatient program offers integrated support for mental health, substance use, and the stressors behind both.

Domestic Violence

Supportive, trauma-informed addiction rehab for people affected by intimate partner violence (IPV), past or present.

OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance use can reinforce each other in ways that make everyday life feel unmanageable. But recovery is possible with the right kind of care.

PTSD

Evidence-based care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction. We help people stabilise, reprocess trauma, and build a safer, more connected life.

Personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder and addiction often go hand in hand. Both can be overwhelming, but with the right treatment, recovery is possible. You do not have to face it alone.

Schizophrenia

Rehab for schizophrenia requires specialised, integrated care. We treat psychotic symptoms, stabilise mental health, and help people manage addiction together.

We’ll guide you through forms, packing, transport options, and outline your rehabilitation phase. Our health staff ensure every step is clear and supportive.
