Halton Recovery House
Halton Recovery House (HRH), established in 1975, is a 21-bed
men’s residential addiction treatment centre. While attending the 28
- 90 day program, men develop healthy coping strategies and acquire
new skills to handle the daily dimensions of living without
mood-altering substances. The HRH treatment program incorporates
12-step philosophy, which helps men get connected to others in their
communities.
The Halton Mississauga Local Health Integration Network (MH LHIN)
provides core funding towards sixteen beds. Seven beds are offered to men
with extended healthcare benefits or who wish to pay for a no-wait-admission. Additional funding is provided by the United Ways
of Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills.

Self-referrals can be made by calling the Admissions Coordinator at
905.878.1120, ext. 228 from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Twelve beds are covered by Ministry funds, except for an PROGRAM FEE of $100, payable on arrival, which covers the cost of program activities and materials during the 24-day stay.
Criteria:
Men, ages 18 and over, with alcohol and/or drug
addiction. Participate in screening and assessment procedures,
including a telephone and face-to-face interview. Participants' physical and mental health must be stable enough to fully participate in a structured, intensive treatment program; as evidenced by their physician's report form and any other health reports that may be required. Must be compatible with a 12-step, abstinence-based treatment philosophy (not on drug replacement therapy or other contraindications).
The Admission Coordinator receives a call from the man, inquiring
about residential treatment. The Admissions process is explained and the man is asked to arrange to have the Provincial
Assessment Tools done at a local Assessment and Referral agency. After the Admission Coordinator receives the Provincial Assessment Tools he calls the man to make an appointment for a face-to-face interview. If HRH is a good fit for the man he is put on the waiting list until a bed is available. If HRH is
not a good fit, the man is referred to other treatment centres.
Priority shall be given to individuals who face imminent and severe consequence if treatment initiation is delayed, including but not limited to; incarceration, child custody/welfare issues, impact on immigration or similar status, academic or regulatory requirements. Priority status shall be given to individuals who are seeking their first residential treatment admission over those who are seeking a second or subsequent admission.
