VincenPaul Community
Homes
Our
History:
In
response to a “gap” detected in the addiction recovery
field in
Ontario
,
the Society opened its first post-treatment home in the mid
70's. Since that time, we have progressively expanded into 13
residences serving 76 men and 7 women.
Our
Mandate:
Our
mandate, simply put, is to prevent relapses by providing a
stable, community environment during a 6 - 8 month period
immediately following graduation from a recognized treatment
facility.
The
Characteristics and Needs of Residents:
Our
Homes strive to provide an atmosphere conducive to continuing
recovery, mainly concentrating upon the rehabilitation
principles advocated during treatment, aftercare and
recognized 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. In
addition, residents are encouraged to upgrade their education,
obtain employment, and restore family relationships.
