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
“fee-for-service”. Additional funding is provided by the United Ways
of Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills.
