First Stage
Full-time, intensive residential addiction treatment program for men.
60 Day Minimum
The First Stage Residential Program is a 60 day structured recovery program in a safe, supportive, home-like setting
Residents live alongside other men in recovery while following a daily schedule of therapeutic activities, educational groups, process groups, individual counselling, support group meetings, and aftercare planning. This stage builds a foundation of recovery skills, coping strategies, and personal insight that are essential for long-term sobriety.
Key Elements of Stage One
- 60 day minimum commitment, with extensions available as appropriate for the individual
- Structured daily schedule with individual and group sessions
- Educational and process groups
- One-on-one counselling
- Support group meetings including AA, NA, and SMART Recovery
- Aftercare planning
Second Stage
Sober Living
Second Stage is optional and helps reduce the risk of relapse by providing continued structure and accountability, allowing men to practice independent life skills within a supportive recovery community.
30 Days + (duration varies)
The Second Stage Transitional Program is offered after completion of the First Stage.
This 30+ day transitional housing program helps men strengthen their recovery before moving forward, offering a structured, substance-free environment with more independence than Stage One. Residents stay sober, attend support meetings, complete daily chores, and can continue work or school, with support tailored to individual needs and progress.
Key Elements of Stage Two
- Typically 30 days in transitional housing
- Daily support meetings and weekly on site counselling
- Daily chore and household responsibilities
- Accountability through rules, curfew, and structure
- Ability to work, attend school, or pursue community activities
- Flexible length of stay based on readiness
