DonateWhat Is Long-Term Treatment?
Long-term treatment is at the heart of the mission of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre. Our goal is to be recognized for exceptional client success rates, service effectiveness, and organizational efficiency. Achieving this requires establishing deep roots in the community and building vibrant, extensive partnerships that support sustainable recovery.
The Bruce Oake Recovery Centre is a long-term, residential treatment facility offering a comprehensive program tailored to the needs of individuals with substance use and addiction issues. The Centre provides a wide range of complementary services and resources essential for recovery, all rooted in the Twelve Step Model, which recognizes addiction as a chronic disease. Our approach is guided by core values:
- Accessibility
- Flexibility
- Inclusivity
- Customization
- Accountability
The Bruce Oake Recovery Centre’s proven model of long-term recovery has received accreditation from Accreditation Canada and is supported by a growing track record of success, with over 100 men achieving and maintaining sobriety for more than one year after completing the program. This success is attributed to our focus on long-term treatment and ongoing involvement in the lives of our residents.
Our program integrates the Twelve Step Recovery framework with individual and group counseling, behavioral therapy, and a structured environment that promotes personal responsibility. Residents are encouraged to take ownership of their recovery journey by participating in household chores, securing employment for their future, and engaging in daily therapeutic and recreational activities designed to foster physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.
A critical component of our model is the continuity of care provided through alumni engagement. After completing the program, many alumni return to support current residents, offering peer mentorship and guidance during earlier phases of treatment. This creates a strong sense of community and accountability, reinforcing the recovery process for everyone involved.
