Transition house

Sober Living in Toronto

Located in North Toronto, our sober living house is a few minutes walk to the subway and from local 12-step meetings. The Recovery Place has a family-friendly atmosphere with large, open spaces and grounds filled with cherry, apple and pears trees. We've also got a large open bar-b-que area for socializing and an additional gazebo for added privacy. The Recovery Place is the perfect solution for individuals and their families seeking to heal the wounds of addiction through sober living and rebuild trust in one another. The safe transition home environment enables families to reconnect while providing the distance required to build and cement new healthy interpersonal dynamics.

Transition and sober living environments are quickly becoming standards in professionally developed recovery plans for those completing treatment. Numerous studies have now demonstrated that a minimum three-month residency in a transition house greatly increases the chances of long lasting sober living. At The Recovery Place, residents are free to pursue their goals for work, school, family, and recovery at their own pace and schedule. Our home functions as a critical support in the highly vulnerable post addiction treatment period. This allows the residents to adjust to real world functioning while receiving the professional support and guidance they have become accustomed to in treatment.
