Renascent operates three inpatient addiction treatment centres – two in Toronto and one in Durham Region, providing a safe, caring and home-like experience for our clients. We provide around-the-clock counselling and support from our professional team members with specialized addiction training, and lived experience of addiction and long-term recovery. Our centres and programs are gender-specific, and we work with non-binary and trans individuals in a person-centred way, ensuring the specific needs of all clients are met.
Grounded in a holistic approach to recovery, Renascent’s programs offer evidence-informed treatment approaches, medical care, and 12-step facilitation. Music, yoga, mindfulness and art are some of the activities that are integrated into the experience to enhance the clients’ living experience and recovery at our inpatient facilities.
Renascent recognizes drug and alcohol addiction as a family disease and we see family members as clients in their own right. We offer help to all affected by someone else’s addiction, whether or not the person experiencing addiction is receiving treatment themselves.
Our Essential Family Care Program is tailored to meet the distinct needs of people impacted by a loved one’s drinking or drug use. We help family members and loved ones learn how addiction affects them and help them get the tools to set boundaries, and address enabling and codependent behaviours, so they too can begin their own recovery. The program includes group and one-to-one counselling with our team of addiction experts, and continued aftercare.
Children ages 7–12 bear the emotional burden of a loved one’s addiction. Renascent’s Children’s Program, made possible through donor support, offers a safe and welcoming space where young people can express themselves through play, creativity, and age-appropriate counselling. They learn to separate the person from the addiction, develop self-care skills, and connect with others who truly understand.
This four-day retreat—offered at no cost thanks to philanthropy—includes group activities, one-on-one support, and aftercare. Open to all families regardless of Renascent affiliation, this program helps children stay children while they heal.
Adolescents aged 13–18 navigate complex emotional challenges when growing up in a home impacted by addiction—challenges that are only intensified by the pressures of adolescence and their peers. With donor-funded support, Renascent’s Teen Healthy Coping Skills Program equips youth with tools for resilience, emotional expression, and stronger relationships.
This specialized program for transitional-aged youth offers structured sessions, drop-in support, one-on-one counselling, and ongoing peer connection. It gives young people the support they need to navigate complex family dynamics while building confidence and self-awareness.
Any big life change takes time and practice, and recovery from addiction is no different. Our Continuing Care Program provides 20 weeks of additional support to help protect recovery during the critical first few months after intensive addiction treatment to enable long-term recovery.
Our Continuing Care Program is available to anyone who has completed inpatient and outpatient treatment at Renascent, or any addiction treatment provider. Through the program, clients attend weekly sessions which include one-on-one counselling, as well as group counselling; clients receive intensive relapse prevention education; and structured content and assignments.
Our Alumni Care Program provides ongoing support to help sustain long-term recovery and offers workshops, social events and much more to keep Alumni engaged in their recovery journey.
