You are in: Substance Abuse Treatment Program
The Harbour Light Treatment program is a residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program with 55 beds and 10 pre-treatment beds.
The Substance Abuse Treatment program treats the disease of the addiction through education, group therapy, and one-on-one counselling. Clients are provided with a safe and supportive program where they can begin the process of change. We take a holistic approach focusing on the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of each individual.
Although there are treatment programs elsewhere for men, there are none like Harbour Light's as we offer a full Continuum of Care approach. Harbour Light is also the only facility offering a structured long-term program for men on the methadone maintenance program.
