Halton Recovery House

Halton Recovery House, established in 1975, is a 21-bed residential men’s addiction treatment centre. While attending the 28 - 90 day program, men develop healthy coping strategies and acquire new skills towards addressing the daily dimensions of living without mood-altering substances. The treatment program is based on 12-step philosophy that leads to an improved quality of life.

The Halton Mississauga Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) provides core funding towards fourteen beds. Seven beds are offered to “fee-for-service” clients. Additional funding is provided by the United Ways of Oakville and Milton.
